yes hold the kitten in your arms and have somebody else hold the other cats make sure u can control them and hold them next to each other. but the kitten will never be 100% percent acepted she will be told she is not the queen by the dominate cat

Thanks for your advice. The kitten has grown so much in just a few weeks! he is so wiggly that I don't know if he would stay in my arms. His latest is when the cats are in one of the bedrooms, he likes to stick his paws underneath and he rolls around outside the door and makes his little playful kitty noises and from the otherside of the door we here hissing LOL.

yeah she will mess around and try to play but if you see the older cats hit her once or twice just let them go now if they start really going after each other stop

also my cats are aloud to come in/out when ever they want and my most satisfying moment is when I watched my 2 older cats who are brother and sister they are 15years old each. help the kitten 11months catch a bird and they shared it toghether. But the oldest female (mavis) will still paw/hit the kitten to let her know whos boss

Aww that is so sweet. :) Piggy (kitten) just wants to play with them so bad. I just want them to know he just wants to play and not hurt them.
