It's unusual for a new cat to be immediately accepted, and jealousy probably is a factor. Even cats that don't crave a lot of attention can be jealous if they see it lavished on a newcomer.
Humans aren't the only illogical creatures.
It usually works out. Have only done introductions with indoor-only cats, so can't give much advice there.

Haha, yeah, these are the total opposite of indoor cats. I now live with my door open, so they can get in and out.
She never did sleep with us as often as the previous one did. Sometimes once or twice a week. And she always did spend most of her time out. But now it's almost all of it.
Of course, can't discount the possibility that she has adopted another family as well.

Best advice I have is if you get both of them in the same room together, share out some attention and treats to both equally. They learn pretty fast when there are perks to be had for getting along, and will work together to manipulate the thumb-havers.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Above The Next Hill
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

I'm both glad and relieved that someone else – even if only a semi-sane Scandiwegian – upon seeing that photo also instantly thought "NAZGUL!"Frostheart Grueburn wrote:It looks like as if some dark, winged spirit escaped into the realm of cute, happy fluffclouds. Well, some of them do need a break from all that sepulchral gothicness every now and then...
Newsflash: the word "irony" doesn't mean "a bit like iron" 
Shockingly, some people have claimed that I'm egocentric... but hey, enough about them

Aye, my mind went on about Ringwraiths and Dementors, but settled for a more generic description.
Now, any clouds that look like a shirtless Honninscrave?

Just checked out the pics in your link Frosty; the first one has a pair of arms around the moon holding it to it's belly.
