9. My sister did that a couple times

When she and my brother brought Maggie home Morgan was none to happy for a few days. I think they just took it slow and had Maggie in her own space for a few days before moving slowly to introduce them to each other. They were never actively hostile towards each other, most times that I saw they preferred to do their own thing and give the other cat her space. But I believe when Morgan died Maggie was just as affected as the rest of us were, even though she probably wouldn't admit that if she could talk.

About five months after Morgan died my sister and brother in law brought Marvel home. Marvel was a 12 week old boy kitten at the time - Maggie was 13 years old then. They again had Marvel in his own space before introducing them to each other. Marvel was thrilled to have a big sister cat. Maggie was not so thrilled though. Marvel wanted to play all the time and didn't get it that sometimes older cats just like to lay around, and sometimes would get a little rough with her. He would chase her around He eventually cooled it and he isn't so rough with her now. A lot of times it's Maggie now who starts the play sessions. Marvel loves his big sister. Maggie gets a bit put off by the young cat exuberance sometimes but loves having a second cat around again.
