At the moment they are wary of each other and hiss and growl and stay on opposite sides of the house. How do I make them make friends

iirc, you keep them separated with some kinda barrier, but something that allows them to get close enough to see and smell each other.

that way they start to kinda get used to each other, and when they're ready/curious enough, then can start to approach each other.

Put them on opposite sides of a closed door, put a towel under the door, half on one side, half on the other. A couple times a day, rotate the towel 180 so the cats now have the other ones end of the towel, getting used to their scent and sniffing them under the door.

Sometimes they just get over it pretty quick also, might be friends by tomorrow just by chance. Cats are odd.

I feel sorry for the earth's population, 'cause so few live in the U.S.A. At least the foreigners can copy our morality, they can visit but they cannot stay.

Did you properly introduce them or did you do what I did when I was 11 and improperly introduce them by dropping one off in the others territory?

If you did it correctly, sometimes it just takes time and some cats are just not all that friendly to other cats.

If not, gonna take a lot of work

Well one has already been living here for a while and the other is new. They are both still kittens but one is a few months older than the other and basically independent now. So I guess the house was her territory and the new kitten isnt allowed anywhere.

Ive been alternating petting them for a little bit, hopefully to spread their scent and good vibes since they enjoy the pats. But they slept separately last night and the older kitten is still keeping to herself

cats have a variety of personalities, like people. some cats will never actually 'like' another cat they live with, just 'tolerate' their presence. just like people.

sometimes they get along like best friends. sometimes not. that's just how it be.

Not always the best idea. A lot of cats do get paranoid from it.

Takes time, keep in mind they may only tolerate each other at best. Just pends on personalities. One could be super friendly and playful, other one be like, why are you like this, Im trying to sleep

Space and time. The older cat will need longer to adjust.

Give the new cat a temporarily differently placed food bowl, water bowl, and litter box.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
