   it all takes time, some take longer than others, to begin with you need to keep them separated for a few days to a couple of weeks with them just smelling their scents under the door. You can also use Feliway products from PetSmart or PetCo and places like that to help calm the atmosphere down with the pheremones (?). There are others who will come and probably share all their experience of introducing new kits to older ones in the household.

   Azdebra pretty much said it all...it takes time, slow introductions, get them used to the scent of each other before they meet..

   Here are some links to internet articles about introducing a new kitten to the resident cat(s). They all differ slightly but they all stress to take things SLOWLY.

   We have always had good luck by feeding the existing residents right outside the new kitten's door. They seem to accept a new one better when they know they won't be competing for food.
