I have a roommate now and he also has a cat. Right now they've just
looked at each other with my cat growling and making noise... the other
one doesn't do much but chase my cat which is much smaller (luckily mine
is not declawed). How long does it take for them to warm up?

Z you know that you can not force them to upon one another you have been
involved in how many conversations about that

I have not forced them on one another but I have moved in with a friend
and we both have cats. We usually leave the cats in our rooms (they have
attached bathrooms where they have their litter/food/water) but when
we're home we let them roam around. They haven't done much yet and they
each seem to know their room. My cat is the upset one, the other one who
is seven and has grown up with animals his entire life does not have a
problem but chances my cat when he (my cat) growls at him. I hope they
eventually get over it... what a bunch of babies.
