Spike ,'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You need to keep 'em separated for a few days at least, preferably in a room with a door that they can sniff at each other under. Then let the door open, and give them free rein for a few hours, let them proceed as they wish, then put new kitty back for several hours.
It's better when it's gradual and the old kitty doesn't feel like an interloper is totally glomming in on her space.
Michael ran out to get cat food and was gone an hour. I figured he'd stopped for a leisurely coffee or something. Nope - he adopted a cat.
Oops! (You know how in cartoons when someone swats a fly on a price tag and changes it from $100 to $1.00? I'm picturing a situation like that where a smudge on the list changed it from "cat food" to "cat, food")
It seems all the supermarkets in the area have stopped carrying Tasty Kakes, so I can't get my weekly treat. I am put out quite a bit in proportion to how minor a weekly treat it is. Le Sigh.

Congrats, flea! We are also stopping by the shelter today to see if we can get an Avon Meowsdale.
Wrong thread.
We have always just plopped the cat in the house and kept a close eye on things. We do make sure that every time we pet one cat we tell the other cat they are a good kitty, which is supposed to mitigate some jealousy. Haven't ever had a problem--but we are quick to step in if anyone gets aggressive.
I hear you can rub tuna juice on the new cat's head to stimulate some artificial affection from the old cat.
BRAINS!!!!

Sounds reasonable, don't trust the source AT ALL.
