So, almost 8 months ago we got a new kitten, I wanted to introduce them slowly as to make sure it would go smoothly. But, he cried almost everyday even if he was in the largest room in the house if he was left alone for even a second, he couldn't even sleep properly. We decided to leave the door open for him to roam around (under our watch, of course) I have 2 other cats, and they were 4 and 3 years old by the time we got him. We separated their dry food, water, litter box and sleeping place so we could make sure the kitten got adjusted well enough. I let him stay in my room and sleep there, I made sure he got all his necessities and played with him. Anyway, he roamed around almost everyday. They never physically hurt him and hissed whenever he did something they were angry by, which he'd walk away from, I'd always be there with them, though. It developed into a better relationship slowly. Even if it's better, it's still not a decent one. They hiss at him almost everyday and its been 7 months, it's never truly aggressive, it's the "back away from me" type of hiss, he always runs to them and plays with them even if they make other noises which mean they are obviously uncomfortable and don't want to be with him. I always remove them whenever they start fighting, they never have injured each other but I'm worried it might happen. They can sit in the same room, use the same litter, etc. They just don't get along. I was thinking on reintroducing but I don't think that'd help whatsoever. I try my best to feed them treats whenever they treat each-other nicely, but I've started school and my sleep schedule isn't great either, so I can't even do it properly. I really wanna make sure they get along, since the baby kitten would probably feel lonely seeing everyone else get along except him. I never tried reintroducing because even now, when he's left alone for a second he cries like crazy. If I try anything like that, it'll cause more stress for the baby kitten. I want to satisfy everyone in this situation. I know I should've attempted something in the beginning, but I was being so stupid that I listened to my parents' pressuring when I knew I could've done better. What should I do?
