Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement! It's been a little over 3 weeks and Summer has free range in the house. Remy and Will still hiss sometimes but she lets them know she is not afraid and she is not a threat. She is spending a lot of time during the day under a chair in the bedroom but that's ok. She will only come in the living room after dark. I finally figured out that the big picture window makes it look too much like "outside"! She's playing with her toys on her own and learning how to live on hardwood floors. And always comes in "her" room when I'm on the computer to hang out with me.
Unfortunately, we've developed a flea situation. I dosed her a week before I brought her in but somehow they got in the house. As soon as I realized it Saturday, I dosed Remy and Will. I'm in the process of washing, picking up, cleaning up and throwing out to launch a full-scale offensive this weekend. All the noise and activity scare her and I hate that but I've got to get this under control. I've never dealt with fleas before so I've done a lot of research online and the process terrifies me. Clean their sleeping areas? They sleep everywhere! And I thought just bringing her in was overwhelming.
Good luck with Flick kittychick! I know that once Summer let me pet her and realized how awesome that is, we had turned the corner. I don't think she would have done so well when I brought her in if she didn't love my attention. She is sitting by my chair right now just waiting for my hand to come down. And I think that her being so comfortable with me helped Remy and Will be comfortable with her, too. So if you do bring Flick in, the others may pick up on her affection for you.
