cat bullying

So althogther I have four cats, Fluffy 12m, Princess 9f, Wiskers 4m, and Cuddley 2f, Fluffy and Princess get along great as they always have, then we got wiskers and he was alright with them but closer with fluffy, then we got cuddley who has never gotten along with Princess. I was reading an article about cat bullying and Wiskers fits right into and now Cuddley is following his lead. Wiskers will demand food by a constant meow untill he gets it, and with water, I can get him a fresh bowl and in an hour it will not be satising to him. and do the meowing all over again, also he is aggressive toward humans, you can pet him, but when he had enough he'll grab your hand and try to maul it since after he was a baby I've never been able to hold him. Wiskers and Cuddley are tormenting Princess, its terrible. I love them all and would not be able to get rid of one but I need help to resolve it. Please help with suggestions they are causing my baby Princess great harm and she won't even sleep on my bed anymore.

can you get a product called Feliway? it is a scent people cannot smell, but is calming to cats especially with territorial angers.  If you cant get feliway, try rubbing the kitten with a soft cloth, make sure to wipe her scent areas (jaw, top of  head, base of tail) then when pika comes home, hide the kitten, feed pika and then rub him with the same cloth, too. then go back and rub the kitten with the same cloth.again. this helps to transfer the scents and make them smell more alike  like family. if Pika isnt feeling too well, he might be extra grumpy, but give them more time too work it out. it takes cats time to accept each other.
cats are very curious, so maybe let them smell eachother without seeing eachother for a few days. Maybe Pika will stay home if he is nosy about who  is locked in the other room!

Thanks for the response, opus88.  Eiva checked by the vet when she has her vaccination.  Vet didn't give her worm treatment.  I'll ask the vet for dewormer the end of this month when I see him.  

Pika still very angry of Eiva.  I feel very sad that Pika doesn't want to stay at home anymore.  Should I hide Eiva when Pika come home for food?  Or should I introduce Eiva to Pika and let them fight for a while?  I hope I can accompany Pika for the rest of his life.  I just don't know what I can do?

the older cat should accept the new one it just takes time...if they are the same sex it may take a bit longer.
for a 7 week old kitten they shouldn't need alot of food. however usually they won't over eat..
you said she has a bloated tummy, has she been checked by a Vet?
could possible need a dewormer?

Hi, I'm new to the cats forum here.  I don't know my post will get answer or not.  Seem like they've old group of fans and their own community.

I also have the cats unable to mix well problem too.  They both go well with the dog.  Just the older cat (Pika) don't like the little kitten (Eiva) 7 weeks old.  The older cat also just diagnosed with renal disease.  At the moment treated with medication.  He is 12 year old.

I gave 3/4 pouch of kitten food and milk to Eiva but she sound not enough.  Do you know how much to feed for a 7 weeks old kitten?  If I leave a lot and she still can finish it with the big bloating tummy.  When Pika small, after enough he left the food.  Not like Eiva.  She climbs up to the kitchen table and looking for food.  She eats what ever she can find.  Was she feeding not enough?  My Pika also because of Eiva and he don't stay at home any more.............
