Question Introducing cats: success rate?

Hello,

My sister has a female spayed cat, Roxy, appro. 3-4 years old and is thinking about adopting another female cat age appro. 9 months (not spayed at this time but will be in the future). I know there are web sites with helpful tips concerning cat introductions and I will send them to my sister.

But I was wondering, what is the success rate? I know there is no guarantee 2 cats will get along but do they usually do? I would hate for my sister to adopt the new cat and war breaks out between the 2 cats and they never get along... Roxy is quite a character and is the boss of the house!

Are there cases where the cats never tolerate each other and always have to remain separate from each other? I have 2 cats but I adopted them together when they were kittens so I've never been in this situation.

Thanks for your comments!
