Curious is right, you'll be okay if you start the introductions over again. Can you close the door to your bedroom at night and allow your kitten to sleep with you while giving the other cat run of the house at night? Then in the morning, you can allow your kitten out to roam the house and confine the new cat to your bedroom. This will help both cats get used to each others smell. After a week of that, you might try putting te new cat in a carrier in the livingroom and allow your cat to smell and see him and get used to his presence. There will of course be the usual hissing and spitting, but that's okay. Then you can let the cats have some time together out of confinement. If they hiss and spit at each, don't worry. Just make sure no major fights break out. If that happens, seperate tem and start the introductions all over again. Good luck and keep us posted as to how things are going.
