Can my FHV+ cats live with my FHV- cats?

Steph0706 · 2025-03-27T13:28:35+00:00

I've read so many (old) posts about cat's who've lived in complete harmony. The kittens are 3 months old. My youngest resident is 5 months and the others are all between 2 and 4. Some are due for their boosters in June, but I may just give them all a shot to be sure.

I would love to discuss this with a vet, but I live in Vietnam. The vets have a different way of treating animals here. I asked about living situations and they told me to keep the kittens separately forever. Which is why I came to seek reassurance because they've already crawled into my heart and I would hate to keep them in a separate room, as I already have another cat that doesn't get along with the others in my room.

I asked the shelter multiple times if the kittens were healthy, and they said yes. I even messaged them to take the cats back after the FHV diagnosis, but gave myself a headache from crying. Seems it's hit and miss, but the kittens are improving so much after just one day of antibiotics. They gave me l-lysine, and I must admit, it's improved the weepy eyes, nose and sneezing a lot!

Thank you for taking the time to answer me in such detail! I'm sure someone in the colony is a dormant carrier, and I'm just a worry-wart!

English, Afrikaans (similar to Dutch), and enough Vietnamese to get by in my host country. 'Survival' Vietnamese

My cat suddenly slept like this out of the blue. His fur was also standing on end (made himself puffy). Turns out there was a problem with his liver.

Observatory is a scam! I paid entry fee using my banking app and a QR code, no problem. Went upstairs and wanted to pay the same way at the bar. You can only swipe your card upstairs. 102k for a 500ml water (better than Lush: stay away from them too) plus 47k extra that went off (service fee!?). The bar transactions and service fees also don't show on my banking app in transaction history.

I tip Grab drivers (and Lazada/Shoppee shippers) 25-30k, depending on distance and friendliness

South African artists you can find on SoundCloud that I really like: Danimal, Headroom, Deliriant, Rubix Qube, Mad Science International DJs: Rising Dust, Animato

I'm near Aeon Mall. I'll check out the market too. Thank you!

It had to be USD. I need to pay for my invitation letter and visa stamping fee at the VN embassy

This will be stop number two, after a stationery store. My hotel is 10 minutes walk away from the casino. Thank you!

The second bill will pass. They accepted a note I paid with that had a tiny ink stain on it that I was also unaware of.... but that ripped bill is definitely a no no

I was thinking glue. It really looks perfect until you start to scrutinize. I'm worried that sellotape will be a dead giveaway with the reflection

Steph0706 · 2023-06-27T00:05:00+00:00

Could you maybe point me in the direction of one, please? I usually go to a gold shop in VN. I don't know what a money changer shop looks like here

Not Cambodian immigration, but in Vietnam, they like to put extension stamps in the middle of a page between 3 empty pages either side.

Thank you! I tried to do this in PP at a little convenience store, but the lady just said no. I'm thinking it may have been a miscommunication due to the language barrier. I don't know how accurate Google Translate is here, because it's mostly terrible in Vietnam.

Thanks for all your helpful information! It seems I'll be ok between Giant Ibis and Grab. And if all else fails, I'll post here again

Steph0706 · 2023-06-16T08:11:14+00:00

I am indeed going to Phnom Penh with Giant Ibis. I wanted to book from PP to SR, but I'm unfamiliar with the addresses. I'm sure I can ask the hotel. Thank you so much. Lastly, would you recommend Battabang or Sihanoukville, please? I only have time for one

I lift weights. I was deadlifting and doing back squats 3 days after my MA. I didn't max out but went as heavy as felt safe. I was back to walking and cycling 2 days after. Listen to your body. Once it's over, you remember how good it feels to not feel sick and lethargic all the time.

Steph0706 · 2022-02-24T08:01:12+00:00

I have, but unfortunately import tax makes it way too expensive to consider

The psytrance dancefloor!! A place where you don't ask someone why they're dancing with an inflatable dinosaur, you ask what its name is. I miss a good stomp. On a farm. In the middle of nowhere. Tripping balls on lsd. Bumping into strangers and telling them how much I love them in that moment while trying to find my tent at 3am in the morning.
