I am so happy this thread re-opened. So, does everyone think I should pretty much let them fight it out? And do you think I will make progress in them getting along doing that?? I think I know the answer.. It seems the way to go to move past where I am now. I feel like nothing is changing.. I

Crittermom, It's so hard to keep them seperated.. My biggest fear is one of my kids may let them together not realizing it then go out! Hopefully I can get them to tolorate each other enough to not kill each other. I think it's working but I don't want to test it out. How long have you had...

Hi White cat lover... Well I'm happy to have company but I'm sorry you are having trouble also. Have things improved for you at all? Yesterday we did not let them together. Somedays I just can't follow them around so we swap them from room to room. Tonight I will make time for a get together...

Tru, I long for the day of relaxing when they are all togerher..And yes, I may consider heading off to the local shelter for another.. Can'thave too many cats! I will keep you updated.. Judith

Tru & Jen, Here is my problem... Moses is very good about letting me cut his claws. Boots is tempermental about that and I only get one paw before she has had enough and I can never get them both done at the same time. Boots has razor sharp claws and the last bad fight they had (weeks ago)I...

Hi, Thanks for replying.. This was an older question I posted but it has been several months and we bring the cats all together every evening but they can only handle about 1 to 2 hrs and we need to be on them constantly. I hate keeping them seperate during the day and at night but I will not...

Hi White cat, I love the play pen idea.. I was even thinking a big giant cage all chicken wire. My hubby can make that easy enough. I can keep them together every night for at least an hour and after a while try to put them together.. I may do something like that. Thanks for the idea. You are...

Hi Starry, I use the water bottle for training purpos. All I need to do is shake the botle when someone wants to claw or eat a plant and they run like crazy. I don't even have to squirt it. However, I tried it in a fight and it did nothing. I think only a fire hose would have worked because...

We may try that tonight.. Hubby wanted to let them all out last night but I chickened out.. I'm so afraid one will get his eyes scratched...2 of them have scabs all around the head. Maybe we will try again tonight...2 at a time...

We tried that and it worked up to about an hour. We will try again reducing the time frame and slowly increasing it but I'm so concerned they will fight again... It's funny I have the 3 greatest cats.. All seperated! They are all social and have great personalties. Just not together.. If you lay...

One more thing...................... If I do the blanket thing when they fight, should they stop fighting when the blanket falls? I'm afraid it will be a fight in the dark and claws will get stuck in the blanket and it will be a mess..... And do you think I should put them together or wait a...

Hi White cat lover, Well, I am way to attached to Moses to give him up. I would never give him to a shelter. I just really hate keeping him seperate. He is an extreamly vocal cat and when he is alone he is loud. It's not bothersome as much as it makes me feel so guilty. He is in a finished...

Yes, It's still plugged in.. Also tried the vanilla on all 3 so they smell the same..What get me the most is they can sit together for up to an hour then break out into such a nasty fight..So frustriating!! The picture of the cat on the right looks just like my Bootsy except the spot by the...

Hi All, I have posted several times about my 3 cats. I have been in the behavior forum but it's not a very active spot and I could really use some advice now... A quick catch up.... Murphy 6yr, (mellow male) & Bootsy 5 yr (nervous nelly) are my 2 cats. 2 months ago I introduced Moses. 3 yr...

This is not such an active thread....oh well.

Last night I fed them together and did not give them any time for other interaction. I figure a few meetings together of calmness & food first. As soon as I start clanging the bowls, my old 2 came running. MY hubby then brought up Moses, held him util the bowls were on the floor. They all ate...

What a shame about your kitty..I hope he does well.. I hope my kids get to be tolerant with each other. One is a 5 year old female a 6 year old male and the newbie is 3. I'll let you know how it goes...

If this weekend doesn't prove to be successful with the kitties, I will be trying the chicken wire door.

Well, this weekend will be the test. I have kept them seperated the entire time. I have been to scared to put them together but this weekend I will make it a point to put them together several times. If the fight, I'll break it up seperate them & try again. I will let you all know what happens...

Thanks Ann & Lucky, I'm starting to think it may be worth another shot. I have a hard time believing the seperation is doing any good. I think there will always be that first meeting hanging over my head so I feel like I'm just prolonging it. Here is another question for anyone reading...
