Hi Bob, I had 3 for a while and the youngest (FeLV) was blind but very active and playful. He would listen for and harass the other two (both are 10+ and one is FelV) by chasing/pouncing them sometimes as they walked by, but they also got along pretty well and would snuggle together and groom each other. I think it depends on how dominant their personalities are.
I don't think 2 would gang up on one, the 2 playful ones would probably just play with each other? Stress isn't good for FeLV cats and a change in cat household dynamics can be stressful. If you have a bedroom you can sequester the new cat in it for a while as the other 2 adjust to having someone else in the house that might help cut down on the stress. Good luck!
