I'm planning on getting a new cat soon. I have done research and found out that when you introduce two cats, the best way to do it is by introducing by scent first. You should have the new cat in a separate room from the resident cat, and introduce the scents of the cats to each other by using towels, or anything that gets scent trapped into it.
Why I am asking this question.
The reason I am asking this question is because the cat that I have right now has had nothing but bad experiences with other cats. I got a new cat four years ago, and I tried introducing it to the cat that I have right now, and I rushed things. I got the new cat and put him in the room that my old cat was in, and I put the new cat in front of the cat that I have right now. When I picked up the kitten to take it out of the room, the cat that I have right now started screaming at the top of his lungs and tried to murder the kitten that I had in my arms. I thankfully only came out with a cut on my foot.
Sometimes, I get cats from the neighborhood that go to my front yard, and when my cat is outside with them, he is very aggressive towards them, and wants them to leave.
Should I get a new cat?, and if I do, How do I introduce them?
