Introducing adult neutered males

Charley, something to think about are the dishes you are using. Cats usually prefer shallow dishes that keep their whiskers from rubbing on the sides and will help prevent acne on the chin. So either shallower bowls or flat dishes or something like this http://www.classycatdishes.com/product/dishes-fresh-canned-food/ would be a better option.
I love the pedestal ceramic bowls - I have four of them and the cats love them...

We are coming up on 3 weeks. Things are about the same. Patience is key here. Very key. They still don't interact much at all during community time and kind of have found their own spots in the community area. Wiggles still spends a few hours a day in his room and at night. Jengo is still living up high, that was never unusual for him anyway but he rarely gets on the ground and if he does he gets chased. They feed together nicely - mostly anyway...there have been a few bites given to Wiggles if he gets in Jengo's way, nothing major I don't imagine as Wiggles hasn't cried, been in pain or even had a mark. The vet keeps saying its normal for them to do this. I shouldn't intervene unless there is growling, crying or blood. Wiggles just let's him do it to him. Like I said it appears to be warning baby bites. Wiggles isn't afraid of him that's for sure.
Jengo has learned to ignore Wiggles much of the time too. I've been working with play with both of them. Jengo gets so excited that he will jump down and get into playing with a wand. Last night Jengo made his way to,the kitchen chairs and sat in them under the table, so that's closer to the ground, right? Lol.
I've long stopped expecting anything from them and its much, much better, they batted each other night but I suspect it may have been play since no one ran away.
Wiggles identifies his room now and when he's tired he goes to bed. It's very cute.
Jengo is a slow one to win over. He only bonded with me because he had to. He's made it clear he's a bit of a loner who likes to be in the mix of things but off to the sides. It's going to take lots of time and supervision. Meanwhile, lots of sniffing going between the two of them and I even hugged them both yesterday at the same time
They both follows me around like crazy, where I am they need to be too. They both talk incessantly at me. I was petting Jengo on his fridge spot the other day and Wiggles jumped up to join without any fighting and both got pets.
Boyfriend adores Wiggles in ways he couldn't with Jengo because Wiggles is much more social. Wiggles is also a little more self sufficient and confident. He carried plastic food plates into my bedroom the other morning, it was hilarious. He will get into food if its not put away and he is happy to play with others or by himself. He is happy to meet new people or see the same ones again. He likes to run around and stick his head in shoes. He's very entertaining. He puts on a show every day.
