Coolcat you seem like you're just completely discouraged and don't think it's going to work, and maybe you're potentially bringing that mindset and fear in when you're trying to get the cats together. Your cats take your cues from you. Get extremely close to your savannah, make sure he trusts you and your family. Then try to get your kitties together again. For now you may have to keep them separated but I doubt it'll be forever...

Oh we are close he comes when i pat floor,lets me hold and snuggle him,i just can not allow my bengal to be hurt,scared in her home.Bengal and manx dont get along after 3 years so why would sv and bengal....hell sv hasnt even seen manx im sure that will be a train wreck also.

Okay so if your sv and manx meet and get along.. maybe it's your bengal that has socialization issues? Maybe try the sv and manx and see how that goes..

Ive got 3 that dont get along,my aunt has 30 cats (yes 30) that get along.....didnt i read a old post where your cats would fight and youd have to treat absess's wounds,how did you stop that or do i have you mixed up with another member.

Nope - definitely was not me...what did happen to me is that I kept two of Zuri's kittens and she thought they should be gone...but she would just yell at them and smack them, but was never mean to them...she went back to being their mom and stopped that behavior...but I did have to separate them for a while...

Im afraid he will tear her up(cant let nothing happen to my bengal) im getting ready for a meeting of the cats in a few....starting to wonder what i got myself in too.

I'm hopeful Triton will get along soon! I hope the Felway or just more time helps...

Right now, I'm having to begin a very slow/minor, cat introduction process with Shango (Triton's real full bro for everyone else). I've kept the few intro's very brief (3-5 min/day) and Amaury is bonding very well to me since he's in quarantine. When Shango first saw/smelled Amaury 3 nights ago, it was all fluffy tail, hissing and one minor paw bat to Amaury's head by Shango. But slowly day by day, Shango is now becoming more accepting. For the few brief encounters they've had, they're now ok, and they have played with each other in the hallway a time or two (the good play and not killer play). I could tell that Shango still was dominant, being 10 lbs, opposed to Amaury's 5 lbs. Amaury respected Shango in this way that I could tell. Other than that, now today, Shango is beginning to come over to his quarantine room door and does the below door paw playing and both are having some fun that way. No more hissing or tail fluffing. Just some friendly Shango meows saying come and play with me. But obviously, this has not yet been long exposure, so I don't know either at this point...

All of this begs me to wonder, while I know cats are all going to interact differently, wondering if male/male, male/female, female/female, neutering/spaying, same/different breed and how age affects things? Shango (F2 male @25 weeks), just got neutered 3 weeks ago. Amaury (F1 male @11 weeks), is not yet neutered. Probably lots of factors here...

Anyways, CC keep us posted, hoping Triton gets along, he's a beautiful cat! dj

it does sometimes take a lot of time for introducing cats to one another...I brought Taj in as a kitten and he wormed his way into the heart of my 9 yo DSH...then I brought Zuri in when Taj was about a year old and that went ok, although Zuri became the boss of all the boys, even as a kitten...I am probably lucky...

CC, have you spoken to Arden about this?

CoolCat, I'm keeping your kitties in my prayers! I know it must be so hard to see your bengal having such a hard time. She probably has no idea what's going on and why these new kitties keep popping up!

Maybe i got the evil brother,I knew this was gonna happen but tried to bs myself into thinking it would work out...only mistake was i thought bengal would be the bad one.
