Hang in there, Aaron! Heed the advice given to Vern. It just takes some time and lots of patience. Hissing is normal. You can't expect miracles in two days. Supervise them when they are together to make sure there no fighting. Keep them separated at night. Your new arrival should be in a safe room with a litter box, food, toys, and beds. Swap out the scents from each cat. I know you want them to be best buddies as soon as possible, but until your older kitty accepts the scent of the new kitty, it isn't happening. And remember, this new kitty has entered your older kitty's territory. It will work itself off with time, so just be patient.
