I have decided to move in with my parents for the next year to save
for a place of my own. My parents have agreed to let my cat stay
with me. The problem is they already have a cat that is very
territorial. My cat is very affectionate, and is adaptable to new
situations. My cat is a three year female, while my parents cat
is a seven year old male. Both are spayed/neutered. What is the
best way to introduce them. Are there any old notes on this.
My parents live in a big house on a quiet street with a big
backyard.

I'm not sure where they are, but there are other notes on this.
The best thing to do is divide the house into two areas, letting
each cat explore its area, and then switching them, so they can
smell the other cat before they meet them. Don't force them to
confront each other, but supervise them when they do meet. They
will probably avoid each other at first. Good luck!

Should one make sure that both cats have at least been tested for FeLV
before introducing them? Any other problems/infections/illnesses?
Speaking as one who has been burned (not by FeLV),
