How to get two female cats to get along and move new cat out of room?

Question

I have two cats both are female. The oldest one is three about to be four and spayed. The younger one is two and we just got her from my husbands uncle about a month and a half ago and they are both having a really hard time adjusting and getting used to each other. The new cat only stays in the bedroom so we had to move her food and litter box in there. Also they fight nonstop. Any ideas how to get them to get along and move the new cat out of the bedroom?

Time and patience are your friends. Introducing a new cat can be a long and slow process. Making sure both cats have their own space to relax (which you seem to have done already) is a good first step. You can then use a baby gate or other barrier to let the cats see each other without interaction to help get used to each other safely. A monitored introduction in short bursts can also help get them slowly used to each other. Using a pheromone diffuser/collar can also help release a calming pheromone which can decrease intercat aggression and stress and may ease the transition some.
