We are adopting a new cat(male) and brining him home tonight. Please, anyone with experiance - What is the best way to introduce him to our other cat(female)?

First of all I REALLY want to stress that you DO NOT FORCE THEM together, that's the worst possible thing you can do.

Keep the male in one room and keep him in that same room so he can get confident being there. Your female cat will be able to easily smell him as soon as he gets into the house. Occasionally let the male out of the room, but if he looks scared he should go back. Eventually he should become more confident going through the house and with the new smells etc. If the female is an older cat, it may take her a long while to accept him, but that's OK, it's normal, just DON'T RUSH them together. Cats take time and it is essential that you are patient.

Good Luck!
