So if you've read my story in the Ferals forum, we've kept one of the sweet rescued babies. We thought she was a she, but after a checkup at the vet, found out that she was a he!
The question is, I have two male cats already, a year apart in age. The oldest cat is almost 3 years. The two male cats, Apollo and Storm get along great. They play together, lick each other's heads and eat/hang out together.
I've kept the new arrival, who we've named Romeo, in a separate room with food, litter, etc. They've been able to smell and see each other through the doorway thanks to a large gate I've put up. I've given the two boys treats near the door. I also have a Feliway diffuser going near the door, as well as in Romeo's "safe room".
Is there anything else I can do to make the transition a bit smoother? So far, Apollo and Storm have growled/hissed at Romeo and seemed a bit tense, naturally, but they always come to the gate to sniff each other. Romeo doesn't seem afraid of them at the slightest. In fact, I think he'd pounce on either one the first chance he got!
What else can I do to make the transition easier on everyone?
