I really want them to get along. I don't think I'm helping.

They will eventually. After almost a year they stopped fighting

Time usually helps. I’ve introduced a fair number of cats to each other through the years and while some didn’t become best buddies they would adapt in time.

Though we always fed them separately as we had a long lived fat cat who was on a perpetual diet. I think removing food stuff helped, but if there is always food out it’s usually not as big an issue. We couldn’t do that because the fat cat would just gorge then.

Thanks for the helpful reply. Cat number 2 became an outdoor-cat when the neighbors abandonned him. He hangs out at various houses on the block and we all take care of him a bit.

He's comfortable going in my apartment for a peek, so maybe one day he'll eventually want to move in.

That’s really kind of all you taking care of the little guy. Thanks for a smile.
