Well, you didn't explain what 'poosies' are...so I'll take a guess that you mean cats (pu$$ies?)
Two cats will generally make adjustments over time. You didn't state how old each one of them is. The older they are, the longer it takes them to adjust to changes in their surroundings.
I adopted a cat once, from a very nice family, who was 3-4 years old. She hid in a closet for practically a month before deciding it was OK to come out and check things out. (of course I fed her and stuff).
Right now I have one cat that is a year older than the other and the older one was 2 when I adopted the younger one at 1 year old. Even though he was lonely, he still took a while to get used to having a new cat in the house.
The still smack each other around from time to time, but it is generally playful.
I would keep them separated, if you can, for a couple of weeks and see if that helps calm them down a bit.

The problem with poosies is that when they were first domesticated in China in 1400's, they were purposely kept from socializing amongst themselves because the emperor's twin sons, Xansing and Xunsing, were jealous of each other's ability to train and show their new pets and this was a way to explain why one was slower than the other. Because no one had ever encountered a poosie prior to their presentation to the twins, there were no expectations. When Xansing demonstrated his pet's ability to find food at the end of a long maze, Xunsing demonstrated his pet's ability to mate when he sexually stimulated the animal and pointed it toward his furry "buddy." As it turns out, Xansing's poosie was female and in mid bite of her well earned luncheon when Xunsing's pet tackled her and proceeded to mate so exuberantly that she suffered what was later described to a mourning nation as "death by shock to her system." Thereafter, all poosies were kept separated except for brief mating periods following desensitization training of the female so she would know what to expect. With the lack of socialization inbred or trained, poosies are not social animals. You should have been told that by the importer who sold you these creatures. I am assuming that you have two of them and that they are of the same sex. The best you can hope for is that they do not get physical when fighting, instead maintain a distance while making faces at one another. Good luck

If you have two males you are out of luck without some trips to the vet for nuetering. If you have had one cat longer than the other its' a good bet you have a 'turf' dispute going on: in that case it is easier one cat #1 if you introduce his new buddy in stages. Put cat #2 in a room by himself for a few days if you can and start the introductions in small stages. It helps to apply some high test catnip when you finally let them shake paws.

You need to put them into a room alone together and let them sort it out, i know it sounds a little mean and annoying since they will be meowing alot, but if you leave them alone, eventually when you let them out they would have such hard hatred for each other.
If you break them up everytime they fight, it only creates more tension because they may think your favoring one over the other, right now, they are trying to compete for your attention so if you let them know it bothers you everytime they fight, they are going to keep doing it.
