I posted her in November as I was trying to socialize my 13 year old resident female cat to a 4 year old male cat I got from a shelter. I was having problems because he was agressive and Kali (my female kitty) was timid. I'm pleased to say they are now getting along fine. Not great but fine. They have play sessions together with me but not alone. Kali is no longer running from him and he is no longer chasing her. Phew! I had him confined to a separate room at night right up until the Christmas week. Days he had been out only when someone was around to supervise. Now he is out all the time. Kali is slightly a little on edge because of it but handling it well. Simba (male kitty) is a much different cat overall. A lot of the agression has subsided and he's a sweet (but subborn) kitty. He doesn't bother Kali now but still likes to follow her and look at her once in awhile.

I just wanted to let everone know how it turned out. Patience does pay off. My mother in law kept telling me it was ridiculous that I was keeping him in a room for so long but I stuck to my guns and said I'd know when the time was right.
