need more advice about the kitties

Well... my 2 female cats (littermates, spayed, 2 years old) are really taking the addition of this little gray guy we have named Tut badly.

The Mercy Cat hides and acts like she's afraid she'll be killed. Rosebuddy is better but now she's acting out towards us, not her sweet self but angry and growly.

It will be a week Thursday since we introduced him, I know I'm probably expecting too much but all the hisking around and sillyness is getting on my last nerve!

I suppose we could make him live in the 1/2 bath but that's not right either!

Tonight I put a drop of tea tree oil on the backs of all their necks hoping that they will all smell the same and learn more quickly to get along with each other.

Pray for me, my patience is little at best and it's worn quite thin.

Thanks,
Janie
