Well how old?
First get a clear room, and put the "new" cat in it. The older cat will get the smell or get cuirouse
after a day or so you will mabey want to rub a towel on the new cat then put the towel in front of the older cat. He will smell it.. Then cat another wash cloth and run it on the older cat (to get his scent) and place it in front of the newer cat.
after another day, open the door a crack so they can see each other... see their reation... they may hiss, but this is normal.
after doing this every so often... mabey ever 2 hours.. wait another day or if you think their ready. Pick up one then let a family or friend pick the other one up (do NOT set down) and be in the same room... watch their reaction....
and mabey set ONE down and see what happens...
and then the next day (depending on the other cats reactions) set the both down... with super vision.
hopefully this worked... I did it but with younger cats a 5 month old kitten and 2, two year toms

What do you do when you have a new kitten brought into the house and the other cats get jealous?
the answer is a bit complicated. these two things simultaneously: 1. SEPARATE your older cats need a proof that they still matter. The new kitten should sleep and eat apart of them. The places where they are 'the boss' should for start stay reserved just for the older cats. 2. Bring together pet them together. take both cats into your lap and pet them. if your older cat gets agressive, turn from it (not for weeks, for a minute or so) and just pet the other cat. Also pet your older cats on these 'premier' places where they like to sleep, and show them that your affection is not becoming smaller. The new kitten will be fine with a little less attention, don't you care about that. What matters now is to form a healthy cat household.

Male cats do not attack kittens or female cats however, it probably isn't the best idea. If you have lived with the older cat for a while, he may become jealous of the new addition to the family. As the younger cat devolops they may become aggressive to one another. This said, not all cats are like this, some generally get along with other cats. It depends mostly on the breed and age.
