Introducing a new cat can be a very stressful time for new and old cats alike. Slow introductions are a must. When introducing a new cat into a home with other animals, keep the new cat in a separate, closed off room for a few days until it adjusts to it's new environment. Spending equal time with both parties is ideal, so your resident cats don't become jealous.
Be sure to swap scents using old blankets, towels or bedding. This lets both new and old cats become used to each other's scent, which makes the introductions a little easier.
Face-to-face introductions should be kept brief at first. Using toys or treats may help keep a somewhat calm atmosphere. At any time either of the cats become uncomfortable, be sure to separate them again and try again once completely calm.
It can take many weeks or even months for cats to become used to each other. Make sure there are quiet places in the house where one cat can hide and not be bothered by others if it wishes some 'time out'. Reward good behaviour such as friendly sniffing or playing.

∙ 12y agoits pretty easy acutally.
<P>Dont force them into the same room all the time, get them used to each other. Keep them separate and until they are happy with each other don't put them in together.
<P>Don't show more favor to the new cat because the old one will not want to be with it as it will get jelous, if possile give the old cat more attention. Keep them equal.</

∙ 13y agoYou can't exactly get cats to get along. If your been more affectionate to 1 cat more than the other, it would make the other cat jealous. cats do have feelings. So make sure you treat the cats the same.

∙ 11y agoIf you want cats to get along, I find that sometimes more toys and stuff help. If not, then maybe rub catnip on both cats. Sometimes, cats don't like the smell of each-other Yes, it sounds weird, but cats can smell things we can't, so if you shower one or give one of the cats the same thing the other cat/cats get, then it might work. If it doesn't work, then maybe treating them nice and giving the treats when they are nice to each-other will let them get the hint that if they are mean, they won't get treats and stuff. Just an opinion. =3 Meow
