I bet the cats were suing each other left and right. You know how litigious they are!

No further information on that one, sorry.
But somehow I'm not surprised that it didn't turn out well.

Hmmm. I wonder how long it was before cute little kitty ate cute little ducky? The cat's already put it's lunch into a mixing bowl.
Thanks for the new-cat/old-cat advice.
But I just realised it's now been three months with a new cat and an older cat working things out -- if anyone wants an update -- and with the progress they're making ... they'll be dead of old age before they're good friends.
They seem curious about each other, but every time we provide them with the opportunity to get close, one of them will hiss at the other, and then the other will whack the first one's snout. Though they do NOT hurt each other.
The younger cat, of course, wants to play, and the older cat just wants him to get lost. Which I understand. Anyway, each has his own crate and litter tray and bed, and one seems to be sticking to the upstairs and the other to the downstairs.

It can take years.

Tansy and Zinny are still super cute.

Yes, I understand you're absolutely right, StratUp. Thanks for the reassurance.
The older cat's nose is permanently "out of joint" and the younger cat seems genuinely sad when he's rejected by the older cat. But otherwise my wife especially is making sure they're able to stay away from each other.
And I understand you have to make sure they don't have a set-to, or they'll never come 'round ... so we're patient.

As I see our one good Easy Chair in a few years. (But that is some super destruction there! He/she looks so disdainful... Yet humbly proud...)
