    There are places up high he can go, but he'll STARE at the girls from up there, so they'll rush up there to attack him.

    When I say attack, they are using their claws in a bear hug, slashing, and kicking the hind feet, but I don't see much biting, and there are never any marks on Pacasso, so no one is biting hard.

    Everyone is fixed. Everyone was fixed as a kitten, so non of the cats knew the other before they were fixed.

    He is acting the victim, so that is what is causing this. Can you do any playtime with him without the girls, and help him feel more confident? Does he or can he get any 'alone time' with the humans?

    I agree with Karen, he needs some confidence building exercises. Now is the time, before things escalate and he does get hurt.

    Even just 2 minutes playing with him with one of those toys on a string, morning and evening, will help. Remember to put the toy away at the end, those strings are deadly for cats and the toys are only meant to be used with supervision.

    Marc just started to put him in his bedroom with the door closed during the night. I told Marc to use the laser before bed and when he gets up.

    Hopefully this will help. He needs to figure out he is not prey, but an equal kitty and there's no need to stare at the girls so much!
