I agree with Jamie I wouldn't give up just yet.
Cats are really slow adjusters and it takes alot longer.

When I decided on a second cat it was for companionship for my first who was 2 at the time and we decided to go for the same breed a Maine Coon Mix type since we loved her tempertment and loving personality. Adjustment to the new kitten was as usual with the hissing, growling and nervousness. It probably to 8-9 months until total acceptence of the new member for our older cat to see she wasn't going anywhere. What I didn't like and made me nervous was the fact that my older Lily's personality changed. She wasn't cuddling was more withdrawn and abviously pist at us and let us know she didn't want much to do with us for quite some time. She didn't want to share any of her space of our home with no new kitten at all.

But to this date now it has been about 1 1/2 since our new cat Lucy and Lily has adjusted wonderfully her cuddling loving personality has come back. The two cats now groom each other and even share the same sleeping space (with me, LOL) double the cuddling POWER!

I hope that with some more time and kitten maturing things will level out for you're cats.
