Cats are such strange little creatures! My first cat was Samantha and then when she was about 5 or 6 months old, I added my second cat, Simba. Sammi was still a little baby but hated it that another cat had invaded her 'territory'. Still today, 6 or 7 years later, she has not completely accepted Simba but has learned to 'tolerate' him.

Simply put, they get used to each other. It really doesn't take long. Just put the cats together and let them work it out. My kitty, Simba's, favorite companion is Katrina, who is Samantha's baby.

In my home, it's Samantha and KatyKatt...........
and then........'
Simba and Katrina. Simboli and Katrina are constantly nuzzled up with each other. So cute.

So just put your cats together and let them work it out on thier own. It should take only a day or two. Cats don't like another creature invading 'their' territory but they'll get used to it, especially when they realize that it's not going to change. Of course, during this 'getting acquainted' time, you'll be there to make sure that nobody is actually hurting the other, as in a cat fight.

How wonderful to do nothing and then rest afterwards. Meow!
