Oh yeah, cats should be introduced very slowly, usually, living apart and then switching out the rooms over the course of a couple of weeks at the very least. It's actually a bit backward here-- The newer cat would usually be confined to a smaller space in order to help acclimate her to the home and Harlee would have her territory. Harlee, esp. after losing a cat companion recently, is still confused about where her friend is, the one she knows, and now this stranger is in her territory and she likely feels threatened. I didn't see until today that you got another cat already! Wow!

I've learned a lot at the shelter about cat introductions, which would've helped ME a ton when I found this stray cat who is now my Ella!! I hope all goes well for you.
