Depending on when you obtained these kittens and how long ago you introduced Beans, it may just take some time for them to get used to him. All of these nine kittens have been raised and grew up together, making Beans the odd man out. Generally speaking, young kittens eventually will accept one another. You may want to consider introducing Beans to cats one at a time, or a couple of them at a time so as not to overwhelm him (or the other way around). This would be the best way to start. Hope this helps!
