I know you heart is breaking but I understand fully. I thought I would have to rehome Samantha because she would not stop attacking all my other babies. When Amy became her main target, I knew that was IT, there was no way I could allow that.

But having had Samantha sit on my doorstep for two years begging to be mine and it finally happening, I was horrified at the thought of turning her away again and she is a perfect cat in every other way.

I KNEW what the conflict with them was all about. Amy and Giz felt she had invaded THIER territory because they were not here when she came over before and she thought THEY were invading her territory since she had never seen them before. Then you add to that, how starved Sam was and how she ran, bowl to bowl and left them nothing to nibble on all day and that causes a lot of problems to.

That is when I decided to do the time outs for Samantha, shut her in a room by herslef and each time she did it, the longer she was shut away all alone. You know how cats are, they HATE to be shut in a room alone so it only took her about 3 days to learn. I was amazed at how fast she put it together in her own head and that stopped it. They are still not all best friends but there is no more attacking and time has taken care of Samanthas appitite problems.

I wish your solution could be as easy as mine was but I was lucky that I hit on something that worked the first time.
