The worse thing possible after taking in a cat has happened - we are having to give him up after just two weeks. We love him to bits as he's perfect in every way but one - he attacks our other cats. The eldest is so scared that he now constantly hides under the bath (side panel missing) and rarely comes out. Heartbreaking.

That’s a difficult one, the wee soul doesn’t sound as if there’s been much socialisation going on previously. Sometimes those pheromone plug-ins can help, but it IS distressing to see established cats being harassed. Sometimes, if you are lucky, they at least reach a nodding acquaintance with each other. It took about a month for a partial peace to break out here.
Just took a quick picture of the ‘lodger’ and Toby. They look all friendly and buddys lying there, but the ‘lodger’ bullies Toby, and the fur still flies, as a result Toby hissy fits his way round the house. But after a year, they do have their moments of, well, I wouldn’t say friends, but the ‘lodger’ has been known to wake Toby up just to be sure the auld yin doesn’t sleep through his tea. He also follows Toby about the garden, like a wee shadow, so they can’t completely hate each other.

We had three females and adopted another two, a mother and daughter. They would not socialise and attacked the others, often quite viciously. One of our original cats moved out because of them and they ended up in one half of the house with their own litter tray and separate eating areas. We never did get them fully settled, the mother escaped and went back to her old home twice which was really impressive as it had to cross two major roads, one of them the A30 dual carriageway and a river. The daughter died of a heart condition so normality was resumed. Our other cat would come back to visit but not stay.

The charity we got the cat from rang to say they had found paperwork which included a note from the previous person who fostered him saying that he needed to go to a home without any other cats as they had found the same as us - he attacked others. The cause is he was probably neutered too late. He's now back in the shelter and we are looking at it as if we just fostered him in a home with love and affection for the last couple of weeks rather than giving up on him. My wife had to take him by herself as it was too upsetting for me.
Charity has persuaded (not hard to do
) us to take on another cat which needs a home. They have a litter of juvenile kittens 4-5 months old which everybody overlooks as they are very shy with people but fine with other cats so we are going next week to have a look.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To never tell a human that
The world is really ruled by cats!

Yesterday at about 4 in the morning, I got up to find the ‘lodger’s’ back paw was double its usual size, and he couldn’t put weight on it.
By 8.30am, it was even more swollen, he wasn’t eating
, and he wasn’t his usual ‘cheery’ self. Vet gave him antibiotics, and anti inflammatory injections, a course in antibiotics , and an appointment for tomorrow morning for a general anaesthetic, and poke about the paw. Verdict, probably an abscess, which may have been caused by a bite, or by an alien implant 
.
Well, he has a reprieve until Monday now. Paw swelling reduced by about 1/3 overnight, he’s putting weight on it, and is back to eating like a horse.
They will check him Monday, and if they need to sedate him to clean out the paw, they will, otherwise, they will let nature take its course.
