It would be best to put the kitten in another room and let the older cat have the run of the house for a while every day. Since they are not fighting I don't think you need to separate them all the time, but the older one does need to be reassured that her house is hers.

Putting the kitten in a carrier and letting the older cat sniff around it is a good idea also.

When you are gone from the house, the kitten should also be separted from the older cat just in case there is a power struggle. Depending on the cats it may take a month or longer to see how they are going to get along. Probably they will be OK pretty quickly.

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