Before you take a step back, try the Comfort Zone plug-ins. I've heard good things about them. I have used one when we brought a dog into the house, but my cat is so mellow that I couldn't see if it worked or not.

The cats may never "warm up" to each other per se. Even if they do, this takes time. Right now they are establishing a hierarchy with the growling and the hissing. Unless they actually start to physically fight, you should probably let them see if they can work it out.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
