Wow! 7 cats? Or other animals too? I have a dog, guinea pig, and a fish. When I lived with AH at one time we had 10-12 animals including fish. Lots of work. But congratulations. I am cutting back on pets. :)
She is unafraid of other animals and very curious. She is super playful. All animals are getting used to her. My cat is having the biggest problem oddly. She is being a crappy big sister. Though it's only been a day.
I tried to introduce a cat here with my girls. They made it so hard for him after a month of trying, I had to take him to my office where he became the ministry cat. When I retired, I had to find a family for him because the girls just wouldn't allow him here without cutting off his access to the litters, the water, the food and me just like they did the first time I brought him here. I do hope Nikki is received after awhile by the older kitty. If not, I'd suggest you send her here, but Holly and Hannah would greet her with nothing but hisses, howls and ugly faces.

Awww so cute!
When we brought the dog home, MD absolutely hated him. So we made sure there were a few rooms that MD had sole access to, always fed him first and generally tried to make sure he knew he was "the boss" (even though he's about as big as Bowie's head, lol).
They're best buddies now and sleep curled up together.
I think pandering to their arrogance is a good way to get cats to adjust to new circumstances?
It's not very al-anon LOL but it seems to work
