I need some smart rpca advice, please; I have never dealt with a
mutli-cat situation, and am not sure what to do.

I'd posted recently that we are trying to coax timid office cat Tiger
into staying inside more; Ozzy has always stayed inside.  It's
working; Tiger is still nervous about the Scary Inside, but is
spending longer and longer stretches inside before skittering out the
open door.  But the more he comes in, the less Ozzy likes it.  Oz and
Tiger have co-existed quite well for over a year, but inside has
always been Oz's exclusive domain, and he doesn't want to share.

I'm not sure what to do; Ozzy is kind of a bully to Tiger.  Tiger
comes inside and Oz will jump on him and chase him out.  If every time
this happens Oz gets yelled at and/or squirted with the water gun, Oz
is going to like the idea of Tiger's coming in even less, and who
could blame him?  But that seems to be the way we're headed.  OTOH, if
I leave the cats to work it out, I am afraid Tiger will get
discouraged from venturing inside.

Tiger isn't confident enough inside to be able to confine him to try
doing some sort of re-introduction, which is all that's coming to mind
from reading past posts of similar situations.  Tiger is losing his
fear of being trapped inside, but it's still a work in progress.

I don't know quite what to do and am afraid of making the situation
worse, esp. as they are jealous of each other (Ozzy especially);
giving Tiger scritches will make Ozzy mad, and paying special
attention to Ozzy will bring Tiger over to try to horn in on any
scritches to be had.  Ozzy can be distracted by playing, but Tiger
can't relax enough inside yet to play with any abandon.  And they
don't play *together* at all inside, though they do outside.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  They would be appreciated by the
human and feline staff of a certain south Georgia law office.   :-)
