Yes try the cage...it will help improve their trust in one another...time is what is needed..sometimes it feels like its going so SLOW.
Also try swapping scents= poop/pee balls in each other's box, blankets, beds...every 3 days=do a switch...I currently have 2 cats=neither are ready to live together=last night new cat spent quite a bit time smelling the resident's cat poop in the box=I was just getting ready to clean it up=she ran over to investigate=so I watched from a distance-she didn't growl or anything..just kept sniffing...
Have you watched Jackson Galaxy's video on intros?
His big point is meal times at the same time and scent swaps.
We got 2 babygates=and a box that sits ontop as Lilah new kitty has jumped over both gates stacked. She sits and watches. My resident cat is now sitting safely away and watching..she wouldn't even look at her a week ago. It's been 6 weeks...very stressful 6 weeks with only one floor living...but from my view=whenever there's a scuffle, it almost looks like play-new cat's tail has been straight up when chasing Bee..Bee is of course slinking along the floor and tail down...Lilah is said to be 9 but I suspect she's 5=she has SO MUCH freaking energy and plays nonstop for half an hour at a time.
Playtime is a common theme I noticed in all of Jackson's videos.
This short video is a good into of getting cats to cohabit..
I have learned so much from Mr. Jackson.
