I might have to take your advice, though, since Pauley has been acting up ever since he joined us in 1999. When I think about it, being taken from the owner he loved, flown with me from California to Washington, DC, the other cats, moving, etc? It does sound like trauma. Most people couldn't handle it, why should I think a cat would?
As you know, each cat is unique and will react differently to an situation.

I did throw Milly straight in with George (#1 introduction to #2)and I wonder if this directly led to their inital poor relationship.
With #3 to #7 each was isolated until that cat wanted out.

Treacle (#4) demand out of the spare room after 30 minutes.
Where as Sandy (#7) spend weeks in the spare room and still stays upstairs.

All the best
