My 17 yr. old Tabby How to introduce her to new cats? HELP!

[cathys]

My fiance is moving in my house in two weeks. He has two cats one 9 and the other is about 5 years old. They are outside cats and don't get freaked out when they see another cat. My Lumpers is 17 and has not been around another cat for like 7 years now. When she sees the strays outside she hisses growels and then the poor thing starts to cough. Lump is the sweetest most loving little girl. I don't want her last years to be stressful. I was going to keep the other 2 cats in the basement. But I feel bad doing that. Please if anyone has any suggestions Lumpers and I would greatly appreciate it.

On another board, I have an article i wrote about this. I do these introductions all the time- and this is my process.It works for me and I have heard it also works for other people who have tried it.
