It's a long story about how I got the cat, but to make it shorter I brought him home from Utah when I moved back home three weeks ago. He was trapped as a feral and neutered, but I do believe he was never in a house before. I've estimated his age to be about 8-10 months old now. There lies the problem. I have two cats already that are both female and the youngest will be 12 in May. I don't let the young one interact with my cats as of now because he chases them (my mother lets him out without securing the other cats first). I believe it to be play behavior that then turns into a fight as my two girls don't take kindly to strange cats. How it's been in the past is they hiss and usually the fosters leave them be. Not my new boy though (I plan on keeping him). He is an EXTREMELY curious cat, he always has his face in something. I would like them all to get along before I move and branch out on my own. If I hold him and he sees one of the other cats his tail gets puffy and he struggles to escape my arms.
I do try to get my girls to engage in his scent by changing the scratching posts around and I've begun feeding them in the same room. The two girls are very insecure around him though and so far it's not working. Any advice is appreciated.
