It’s not so hard, but it takes a little time. Keep Sophie in a room separated from Lolo. They will be able to smell each other in the house for a few days and get used to that.

That’s half the battle. After a few days, open the door to that room and let them hiss at each other a while. If it gets rough, back in separate rooms. Repeat until they are friends.

I brought Sophie in yeaterday for a few hours...Lolo approached her and Sophie hissed and hid behind the couch.

But Lolo has been smelling Sophie on me for a few weeks and seems depressed. They both like to sit in my lap...I'm torn.

Yep, it did take about a month of separating our cats occasionally to adjust. They are solely indoor cats and have been doing fine for 12 years now.

Agree. It will take a little time but eventually they will merge together and respect each other.
I have chickens and a outside dog. I let the chickens out of the chicken house some days and the dog and chickens get along just fine.
Animals are smart. I think they honestly watch you to see how you react towards another animal and they pick up on that.
