Julie,

I am so sorry to read about Ally. If we start a fund I would be more than happy to contribute.

Connor has fit into my group with almost no problems (I will be posting a thread on him shortly). So maybe Ally had problems because Connor couldn't hear her and she had to "make herself known". My little queen bee had a few problems with Connor when he first came, but Ally trained him well and he always defers to her

Maybe Ally just needs to be an alpha-cat in a situation where the other cats can acknowledge that...

Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you...
