How should I go about introducing the two of them?
First, you might want to have at least one night of the new cat being kept in a separate room from Mina. Try to give Mina a blanket the new kitten slept on and the new kitten one Mina slept on so they can smell each other and get used to the smells. If they start sniffing under the door and trying to bat at each other under the door then you can try a supervised face-to-face intorduction. For the first few days let them pay together a bit longer each time. Watch them closely. If they start batting each other.. thats fine and normal. But make sure the claws are retracted. It the claws are out then separate them for a bit. Read their body language - it speaks volumes. You will know when they are ready to be trusted to have free-roam of the house alone together. Until then keep them apart when you are not home.

When they start cuddling and grooming each other, you know you hit paydirt and will have lifelong friends!
