Thanks, Sharyl.
I slept in Lucky's room with him last night -- he is still nocturnal and
wakes me up throughout the night. He slept good last night on the bed with
me until 4 a.m.
This morning, after everyone had had breakfast, I brought Lucky out into the
hallway (holding onto him). My boy-cat Will got a good look, as did Miya
the rehab'd feral. Stormy has seen him before. There was some general
anxiety, but I figure, it's a start. I'll get some feliway and try that
too. The worse part now is his meowing and pawing the door at night. I'm
exhausted!

Bonnie,
It is always best to go slow. After another week you could put Lucky in a
carrier and set it in a room used by your other cats. You could put the
others in his room and let him roam the house for an hour or so. That
give them all a chance to get used to each others scent. It would also
give Lucky safe time to explore the rest of your home. Here are some
links you might want to read on introducing a new cat.
You can add Bach Rescue Remedy to everyone's water. Feliway diffusers
strategically placed around your home will help calm everyone.

So here is a question about
Integrating a New Cat....
I've got Lucky in the back bedroom. The other 3 hear
him meow. Some even peer under the door and hiss at
him. So, what's next? Just open the door and say
"Hello, everyone!"? Or maybe put a screen or fence up
so they can see eachother for a few days? It's been a
week and I figured after another week it's time for poor
Lucky to join the crowd (after everyone is vaccinated, of
course). I'm stressing out over what to do.
Help?
