I am so sorry.  It sounds like you have thought this through a lot.  This is not a popular opinion, but I do think there are so many cats needing a home.  Even if this is a resolvable medical issue, that doesn't mean it will be inexpensive.  If your financial situation allows it, by all means...

Sigh.  So many issues with 4 cats!  Our living room, where Summer is, has a fence/gate because of our toddler.  No one but Mango can jump over it.  Anyway, when we let Indy in, she bothers Summer a lot-- most of the time Summer can handle it, but she is SPECIFICALLY trying to bother her when...

How sad!  I am glad you are working with her! So, rolling over on the belly is sometimes an attack pose?  I had no idea!  

One of my cats does not either-- after she is done, she will stand up and scratch the wall!  Unclear on the concept.  The box is plenty big.  They told me at the shelter that she was very neat, meaning she doesn't scatter litter.  Now I know why.  I don't think she even covers her pee!  

I am back with a pretty good update.  I meant to keep a journal of each step to remind myself that what seemed like "weeks" would really only be a few days.  (Patience, patience!) I tried doing scent swapping with the blanket but simply could not get the female (Summer) to sleep on it/be on it...

I am dealing with a similar issue.  All I can say is, I think you need to be extremely patient.  We have been working on this for about a month now.  I really think slow, slow, slow cannot be emphasized enough.  If I had moved VERY slowly, I would not be in the situation I am right now.  I doubt...

Mooch, I never used a harness before, either!  We got one when we got our 4th cat from her previous owner/guardian, so tried it out on Mango for a bit (indoors). Katluver, thank you for the inspiration!  I am having a hard time getting Summer to actually sit on a blanket for the scent swap. ...

Thanks for the link. I happened to read the article before posting. The problem is that the scent swap goes fine. Mango just looks curious. Even through the door-- curious. I put him in a carrier to see Summer and he is relaxed. Even when he ate around her, it was fine. The other day he...

Sorry about the typo in the title!  Can't seem to edit it. Hi, everyone.  Please help me because I know I've been doing everything wrong. Background We originally had 2 cats, Mango (M) and Tulip (F).  They are 7 years old.   We got Mango when he was 8 months and he integrated very peacefully...
