Well, Grace knows there's another cat in the house, but they haven't officially met yet. For the next week or so, I'm keeping Tulip in the bedroom, and Grace is extremely interested whenever I go in there. No hissing so far, though. With luck, after two weeks or so she'll be fully integrated into the apartment.
That's the way to do it - and they are both young (I think?), which helps. But hissing usually requires visual contact.
Cats can be very funny. Jack has been noisy and confrontational with new cats. Baxter is usually pretty accepting after some initial staring. When he met Kato they went off and hung out like they'd been friends forever, so sometimes it is hard to tell what will happen, but I haven't had a really bad experience yet, everybody got along eventually.
