By the way, you shouldn’t introduce cats like this! Especially ones that will be living together. It’s so much more likely to go bad!
Instead, keep the new cat in a separate area, such as confined to one room or behind a baby gate, for a few days after bringing it home. Bring things with the new cat’s scent, such as a blanket or toy it used, into the the living area of the resident cat and let it smell them. Let them smell eachother through the door or gate.
Over the next few days work them up to meeting. Let the resident cat into the new cat’s space while the new cat is secured (in a crate, adjascent bathroom, or kennel) and let the resident cat sniff around. Begin letting them spend time together in small doses. Make sure the resident cat can leave when it wants and that the new cat always has a safe hidey hole it can access. Do not leave them unsupervised, and make liberal use of positive reinforcement every time they interact, such as treats.
After a few days of this you should be ready to introduce the new cat into the household! This process is also good for new dogs or other pets being introduced to a resident cat’s space. This will make it much less stressful for the new animal as well.
