I have a 3 year old male cat and 3 females that are 6-8 years old. The females are related, a mother and her two daughters. The girls are bonded to each other and don't really like to interact with the male. They don't fight, they just don't really hang out together.

I brought a 2 month old male kitten into the house a couple months ago as a friend and brother for my 3 year old male, so now we have 5 cats who are inside-only. So far it's working out pretty well.
