Introducing cat to kittens- Help!!!

Hi

we currently have a 13yrold female spayed cat with a fairly good temprement, after years of presuading parents have given in and we now have 2 7 week old kittens, one of each sex.
My friend has handreared the kittens from 4 days old as they were abandoned.

i despreatly want them to get on together as i would hate to get rid of them.

so far we have put the kittens into a cat box and got someone to bring them in and let our cat see them for about 5-10 mins, then removed them, we have only done this twice, our older cat has not hissed at them, she just isnt very keen, as soon as we open the door again she is off.
I am worried about her "moving out". She has always had another male cat living with her apart form the last 3 years.

has anyone got any tips/advice to try and succesefully indroduce them, any help is very much apriciated

thanks

rachel

my cat is a 12 ish year old male cat, we wre worried before we got zingi. (our new kittern) ginegr had always lived by him self, so we started slowly, in teh cat cage, in the same room, through a window, now after a few weeks, Ginegr (teh older one) still hisses, and scratches a little but nothign too bad, BUT you must remmeber to give alot of affection and treats to your older one, cat milk, treats, toys etc etc, lots and lots of cuddles!!
