That plan tracks with all the advice I’ve heard about introducing cats. For letting them see but not touch each other, you could use a baby gate as long as it’s tall enough that they can’t jump over.

It sounds like you have a good plan worked out, good luck!

I’m a big fan of hot drinks during the holidays. Hot toddies and mulled wine are both good, but my favorite is mulled apple cider with bourbon.

I use a couple cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg, thrown in a pot with about a 1/2 gallon of cider and heated without boiling for about an hour. Served in a mug with 1-2 oz of bourbon or other whiskey and garnished with apple and/or orange slices, plus half a cinnamon stick if you’re feeling fancy!
