You have to keep them in a room isolated for at least a few days before you let them all get near eachother or you will have a massacre.

Then you just have to slowly introduce them with you in the room a couple hours a day...it's going to take months so get used to the idea now. They are not kittens, they are older cats with territorial needs. IT's not going to be pretty for a long long time.

It literally took a year and a half before my two finally got along and would stay in the same room with eachother at the same time...IN the beginning, the one grabbed the other ones tail and literally tore the whole tail open and she had to have surgery.....now they get along well. The key ingredient....TERRITORY. ALL cats need their OWN space to call their own.

We have 44 cats as of now. The number could change at any time, though, perish the thought! LOL!

Living in the boonies with a BIG barn on the farm, it's just too inviting for people who want to dump their unwanted pets here. I guess they think we need a mouser but.......WE HAVE NO MICE! Not for long, anyway. LOL!

We're suckers for stray cats and can't turn them away. They get their shots and get spayed/neutered, and spend the rest of their lives with us.

I try NOT to think kitty litter or cat food. I've never totalled up how much I spend on them each week. I'd probably have a stroke. :-)
