Hi all, New to this board. I am in need of some advise, I have two female cats, they are about 2 yrs old. I just recently took a cat that a friend was giving away because she was moving . I've had the new cat atleast two months now. My cats wont leave her alone. They do NOT get along at all.The growling, hissing and fighting every time they see each other. My one cat who is usualy very timid is the agressor she chases the new cat into the bathroom and will sit by that door for hours making sure she doesn't come back out.She will also chase her behind the couch. This poor cat doesnt have a life becasue my cats wont let her. I feel really bad for the new cat and im about to see if the girl wants her back. I hate to get rid of her, she is a really good cat when she is able to come out and visit us. Will they ever get along or should I give the cat a life back?

How did you socialize all of them? I don't know if that's the right term though. What I mean is, did you just throw them all together or did you gradually allow them to get used to one another? Perhaps what will help is if you keep them seperated and then allow them to socialize for just a few minutes at a time and work your way up from there. I don't feel like I'm explaining this very well, but others on this board will give you some great advice.
