Max hates other cats

He hates them coming into his territory, gets upset when he sees one out the window

So when we rescued Molly, we introduced them SLOWLY

First 2 weeks, she was in her own room. We put things that smelled of her in his favourite places

Then we let them eat treats on either side of a doorway covered with a scarf. They saw each other briefly

Then short times together, slowly getting longer

It worked. Now he tolerates her

And she LOVES him

@rufustheduck well done. the gradual introduction works so well
@papakipos thank you. We followed ALL the advice and took it so slowly
@rufustheduck we just did two. First adding a cat to our home with a dog, and then adding a second cat a couple months later. The slow protocol works!
@papakipos congratulations!
