In addition to a gradual introduction or acclimation, consider using a pheromone product such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser. Either may decrease any anxiety or aggression. Correct any aggression or negative behavior immediately. Praise and reward good behavior. Be consistent and be patient.

I don't know much about how they spay dogs in China, but I can't say I have ever heard of a dog requiring a four day hospital stay after this procedure. Here in the USA, most dogs will either go home the same day or the day after the procedure. Although a spay is an intra-abdominal procedure were an organ is removed, they tend to wake up well and not particularly painful. Unless they are using some method in China that is far more involved, I would think that the same day method is more in line with realistic.

Diltiazem ER (extended release) is the generic version of Cardizem CD (controlled delivery). They are the same drug, diltiazem. The generic version may be less expensive. You would need to check pricing with your local pharmacy.

Sully is adorable! Thanks for including a picture. I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question, but every animal is different and some require a combination of products. I would say that about 50% of the animals I try it with have a good response to Rescue Remedy, so that is often my first choice for cats (especially since it can just be added to the water). I have not used the other products, but both appear to have ingredients that could be used alone or in combination with Rescue Remedy. Don't forget that natural supplements are much more variable than medications and will not sedate, so they are sometimes not enough for a very anxious cat. I also recommend combining supplements with a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or a Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) in your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-ca

This will depend on the individual animals. A gradual introduction would be recommended for any new additions. Allow them to hear and smell the kitten but not see it, then allow sight but not physical contact and finally, allow short periods of supervised physical interactions until all parties have accepted one another. Ideally, there should be 1 litterbox per cat plus an additional box in a neutral location. Use separate food bowls to prevent food aggression. Provide additional beds, toys and scratching posts to prevent resource protection. A pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression between the older cat and the kitten.
