red is about 11 years old. i got him in 2000-ish when i was a senior in high school and still lived with mom and dad. he was an only child untill about 2007-ish when i met my wife and moved in with her and her two cats, patrick and annabelle and dog, jack.
red's never gotten along with the other kids. at this point he can tolerate being within a few feet of the other two cats but once they get closer than that he gets highly upset. he's not confrontational, he won't fight. he just growls, hisses and runs away. i think patrick and annabelle think its funny. patrick will sit down next to red, knowing that it p**ses him off, then he'll chase red down the hall. they can all sleep on the same bed but thats about it.
red hates jack, the dog even more. jack doesn't care about red. he just ignores him. we recently brought a puppy into the house. morgan. red doesn't like her either.
red seems to be okay with other people. usually when other people are over, jack is there to greet them also so the people see the nasty side of red. he's my buddy so he and i get along. he's okay with the wife but he likes me better.
at this point is there any hope that they'll get along peacefully or is this as good as its going to get?
