You are probably right that if the one cat didn't hiss and growl the other wouldn't respond. I'd recommend separating them and going through a gradual introduction - maybe even after a month's time.

Good luck!

>>thanks for your reply..they are both females. I thought it would be easier on them because the resident cat is only 6months old. But, she's not taking it so well. I think if she didnt hiss and growl so much the 2 yr old wouldnt attack her.
