Okay, so as the story goes, 20 years ago, our now late cat Keeler adopted us. Some 11 or so years ago, a beat up 2 year old tom showed up and also adopted us. He and Keeler hated each other, so Clyde lived outside and Keeler lived inside. Then Clyde was diagnosed as FIV positive, so he moved into the basement, and Keeler lived upstairs.
With Keeler 20 years old and ailing, we started letting Clyde up for limited amounts of time. For the most part he left her alone, and she was so old she just ignored him.
So now my Grandmother's going to Mayo clinic in a few weeks, so my mom went down to Arkansas and is coming back with her pets. She has two neutered male cats one about a year old and one probably around 6ish, and two teacup yorkies.
We're hoping (although not optimistic) that we may be able to get Clyde to get along with the other cats. He's 13 and not a brawler the way he used to be. But getting along with a senile and sick 20 year old cat is one thing, getting along with two younger males is another. Since he's FIV positive I'm worried about risking fighting and exposure of my grandma's cats, but we don't know how long my grandma's cats are going to be with us and none of us want to shove Clyde back in the basement if we don't have to.
So anyone got suggestions for trying to get these guys to get along?
Thanks,
Cara
