Both Cats are gorgeous and thank-you for giving a home to a rescue animal!

First time in 12 years!!! I think the next weeks will be quite "interesting"!!

Also, advice on introducing new cats to established territories (a little late I know sorry). We have found, especially if done before the introduction of a new cat that cleaning the house and introducing a strong scent (NOT CITRUS! Though cinnamon is good) to a home can help the established moggy to adjust faster and easier.
As you have already introduced Agatha, you may want to try Fussing Ben first, use a rag cloth, and then fuss Agatha with that rag cloth. It can help, as a cats sense of smell is far superior to our own. It can be done visa versa eventually, but at the beginning you want to new cat to smell like the old one (so to speak).
Hope that helps (if only a little!). Hopefully they will get on with each other eventually, and then they will team up on you!
