I worked vet medicine AND animal behavioral issues over thirty years. 1) be patient. This is not a qwik fix. 2) yr cats need to know they're still #1as they r dramatic! ... 3) foster does need learn boundaries but not separated .. make his crate a happy place. Lay with him next to it in it ...cover it so it's den like. Feed treats only in it. Make it the best place ever. And have it in living room so it's happy and part of family. Baby steps...keep us posted as you're doing a kind thing
