Almost 2 years ago we got a female kitten and have been following the introduction steps up to the eating insight of each other part. Our now almost 7 year old female still won"t eat insight of the almost 2 year old female and still walks around growling! So far the poor kitty gets yard time alone every day and still stays locked up during other times! What to do? Can I chance a face to face meeting? It's been so long and they know each other's scent and can see each other through the gate all the time?

I have 2 cats who do not like each other at all! I have had the older one for about 7 years and the younger one for about 3 years. I got them both as 6 week old kittens. It doesn't matter what I have tried, they don't like each other. The older one growls at the younger one all the time. I have a food dish and a water dish for each of them, plus an extra one.
I have 4 litter boxes situated so that the one using the litter box can see all around and not get "sneaked up on" by the other cat. Every day I put one cat into the bedroom for a few hours so the other cat can have "alone time" in the rest of the house. They get into fights a few times a week, but I have discovered that it is mostly growling and spitting.
I have 3 high points in my living/dining room...a wall unit, a cat post, and a tall book case, that they sit on and watch each other. I have 3 other cats that they both get along well with, and these other 3 cats get along really well. It's just a personality clash with these 2 as they are both macho cats. Just like people, all cats do not get along. It's a fact of life and they will probably never change! If they start fighting, I just scoop up 1 of them and put them in the bedroom for a while! Good luck, but you may just have to put up with the growling!
You need to watch episodes of Cesar the Dog Whisperer. The same rules apply to cats.
