How to get my new cat used to my resident cat?

I just got a new young cat and he hates my older cat, i live in a 2 beroom apartment and i cant do the thing where you put them in different room so they can sniff eachother through the door because my second room is too cold. Should i get something like a puppy pen or a big dog crate for the new cat to hang out in when im not home? Is there anything else i can do to make this go smoother??

Answer
introduce them slowly, don't just throw them together.

Also, make sure that you show the younger cat, that the older cat is the boss. When you're introducing them, if the younger one hisses, or throws a paw out, make sure you pop him on the butt or something, and be sure to focus your attention on the older cat. The younger cat needs to learn that the older cat is the alpha.

Why is my dog tearing everything up?

My dog is locked in my bedroom when i leave for work, she has already went through 2 doors, clothes, carpet, blankets, why is she acting like that?
I do have a yard, but it is 20 degrees here today, would you like to be tied outside????
I do spend a lot of time with my dog, she sleeps with me everynight. I am only at work until 4 evryday, and when I come home I am home all night.

Answer
mine did the exact same thing over and over no matter how may toys a got or tv radio on does not matter he did not stop....
it is seperation anxiety, but you cannot do any thing about it because you have to catch them on act to actually be able to change their behavior. if yours is like mine he never did it when i was there only when i am gone so it is not possible to actually catch it....
what i did is i went to pet store and got the "great dane" crate!!!!. my dog is medium size but i got the BIGGEST crate possible. so when he is in there its like a small room to him...
at first he was mad and didnt want to get in but then he didnt mind when i said go to your kennel he went in and lay down. i tried every month to see if i put him back outside he will stop tearing but it took very long time to get over his anxiety( 1 year for mine) but now he has stoped i think he got over it and realized that i need to go to work there is nothing he can do about so ...
he is perfect now he lays on my bed all day long i think because i leave and come back he is sleeping on the same spot only when he sees me he jumps up and starts playing around...
go buy a crate very big one( so he doesnt feel like prison.)
good luck:)
ps put in the corner some 1/5th filled water just in case he gets thristy but not enough that if he spills it he will be laying in a lake...
