Introducing two cats to a dog (eek).

[feesh]

So, we have a dog which we rescued in the Middle East, which went to live with my Mum in England where she has a better life. Since she left us, we have also rescued 2 cats.

We are moving back to England soon, with the cats, and we have agreed to have our dog back off my Mum.

So we have to introduce the 3 of them and somehow get them to live together in harmony

The personalities are:
DOG: Female, nervy, jumpy, wary, bit daft, saluki mix with a strong prey drive, very 'interested' in cats, which my mum has possibly made worse (but I don't think she would ever attack one, the street cats in the Middle East always used to give her a bop on the nose and she never really seemed to know what to do with them). Not very easy to train (I did lots of positive reinforcement, Kikopup type work with her) but she's stubborn and not very motivated by food or toys, so it was always a battle and my Mum has probably broken her completely by now

CAT 1: Uber laid back Bengal male, bombproof, doesn't give a fuck about being harassed by toddlers, gives dogs a piece of his mind, very affectionate and homely.

CAT 2: Very jumpy, terrified of life in general, doesn't like our toddlers, very sociable with us, but slightly odd as if not quite all there lacking brain cells and common sense

We are hopefully buying a house. Probably the cats will go in kennels for a few days when we land. How shall we introduce them all to each other and in which order? I'd really appreciate any advice!

Forgot to say, cat 2 is also male. The cats do get on well with the help of Feliway. Without Feliway on the go, they do tend to fight a fair bit.

I was going to say feliway and separate living spaces for at least 2 months. Adaptil collar too and zylkene. It might not work out though, never know until you try

Oh and first introductions using a crate for everyone's safety

I don't have much useful advice but just thought I would comment to let you know it can be done!

I have a rescue collie x who I managed to successfully introduce to my 3 cats of different personalities. My dog is very high drive and obsessive and was constantly watching them for around the first 2-3 weeks but he did not act on it.
After that the novelty gradually wore off and he got used to them and sees them as 'his' cats now. He sleeps and plays with them as if he has always been around them (he has had a few tellings off from them which helped!)

When we introduced we made sure that dog was tired and that the cats had an escape route and gradually allowed the cats get used to them in their own time. I also used a crate when they were left unsupervised just incase but don't need it now.

Good lyuck, hope it goes well for you!
