I introduced a 9 year old neutered tomcat to my 2, 6 year old spayed females, 6 days ago and followed the procedure recommended, isolation/scent & territory switching etc. When the girls started to get curious I let them meet Stan the new boy. It went OK, first nose to nose, then they backed off and hissed at him. he does not retaliate. However one of my females, Polly is timid and she seems to be scared of him (though he is a very sweet, gentle boy) and he has started to stalk and corner her (more out of curiosity I feel) but Polly reacts terrified, with ears flat, lying down growling. Then I separated them and put him back in his room. The other cat Henrietta simpy seems to hate him. later, after the initial meeting she smacked him when he came too close but he seems to respect that and stays away. My friend says just leave them all toegether and let them sort it out but I'm worried for Polly. Any advice please. I am getting very stressed and it's only 2 days since they met!
