Momto4:The kittens were adopted last Christmas and are just over a year old. They did not do a proper integration and are really very lackadaisical in their treatment of all the kitties. Every time I go over there I pay special attention to Puss because I know he gets no attention whatsoever and I make sure he has food and water. The cats are indoor/outdoor at will and can spend a good deal of time outside before anyone lets them in. I hate it, but, as you said, I'm not confrontational, either. I did tell the husband what I thought of his plan with Puss, and what could be causing the problems (the problem, by the way, is the young ones have started improper bathroom habits; no wonder!), but it fell on deaf ears.
