The dominant cat because, they’re usually aggressive when it comes to new animals in the home. The dominant cat will try to fight for dominance in the household.

Answer by cooltoque
The dominate cat will be the worst. They will most likely fight and may learn to tolerate eachother. Don’t expect them to cuddle. Cats tend to be spiteful

We have two cats (males and brothers) when we got our dog two years ago they hated him now they can be in the same room together but that’s about it. The dog would love to be friends and play but the cats, mainly the domanite one will not have it. it is the same with other cats in my experience

They both would! Cats are very Territorial and it will take some time but they will learn to love him/her eventually!

We have 2 cats and the one we have had the longest, about 3 yrs now and the other 2 yrs, reacted really badly to a new kitten we tried to introduce, our 1st cat was very teritotial and did not like the new kitten the other cat seemed curious. It takes time for them to get used to the fact that the kitten is there to stay. They will get over it.

Answer by Quarter
they would most likely become hostile at first and then learn to like each other.

Answer by Padders

Answer by arkchix
They react very badly exspecially if there older it is best to introduce cats at a young agae not when two grown cats very bad.

Answer by scottsdale sweetie
it depends what their personality is like-my angel (which is the third cat i got) bully’s the other 3 sometimes.
she tries to dominate (and she’s not even the oldest) but i quickly put a stop to it, if it gets out of hand.

Answer by Sweetbaby
Cats are powerful animals and they like to dominate…so another cat can make them aggressive or feel ignored!
