Default Crying kitty/introducing new kitten to cat

We adopted a new kitten a couple days ago. She is approx. 9 weeks
old. We also have a 1-1/2 year old female cat who we have had since
she was a kitten.

Two issues:

1. The kitten won't stop crying. We have her staying in one of our
extra bedrooms. Her litter box, food, and toys are all there for her
to use. She is using the litter box and eating well. She is
extremely affectionate when we are with her but constantly cries when
we are not in the room. She is 1/2 Siamease, which may help explain
her vocaliness. I have never heard a cat as loud as her. Is there
anything we can do to help her adjust and stop crying so much?


2. What is the proper/best way to help our new cat adjust to the new
kitten? When we first brought the new kitten home, our cat would
growl and hiss every time she heard or smelled the new kitten on our
clothes. She is not an aggressive cat and has never hissed before.
She is showing some signs of improving but still hisses at first sign
of the new kitten. We have the kitten in a separate room separated by
a couple baby gates. Our cat can see through the gates but won't go
near the room. The main reason we got the kitten was to give our cat
some company. We work long hours and were hoping she'd be happy with
a little companionship.

Thanks for all of your advice.

Fred
