How do I get these d**n cats to just get along?!?!?!?

Question

OK here's the story: I have a 4 year old fixed male cat that i've had since he was a kitten and yesterday a friend of mine brought me these 2 kittens, both male, because his chick's kids were torturing them to death... long story short: my older cat HATES them!!! (big surprise...) Not so long ago I was faced with a similar situation with this same cat... my sister got a new kitten and at first my cat hated him too, but after a couple of weeks the kitten turned into my cat's best friend!!! The only difference is that then I lived in a 3-bedroom house and now I live in a tiny trailer... Because of these new kittens my older cat doesn't even like to come inside... I cat put the kittens into my TINY bathroom and shut the door but my other cat can still smell them and has a hissy fit every time he comes inside!!! Will they ever get along or do I need to find they kittens a better home????

Answer 1

He needs to get used to their scent. Give him time (like with the other kitten) and see how he goes.

Answer 2

It will take time but as was recommended by a vet to me transfer the kittens scent to your cat and vice verse by petting or rubbing with a small towel and then rub on the others and by getting the scent on everyone it will help get them used to the each others scent.Also make sure you give your cat plenty of attention and love so he sees nothing is changing and he doesn't feel neglected .Males can be  territorial and will have to set the rules.Don't try to force it he will have to make friends in his own sweet time. If you get to where they can be in the same room together try cooking up so chicken or a little tuna(something special ) and feed your cat a little first and then a little to the kittens but always make sure he has some the whole time. Getting them to eat in the same area like this will help in the familiarization step.
