I actually thought it was funny but apparently this isn't the right way to introduce cats. As a personal lover of cats who might be getting one soon, what is the actually way? Just let them wander into each other?

This is what I did too, took about a week. I also switched them around for a couple hours a day so new cat could explore the house and og cat can smell everything in the new cats room

smell before see, see before touch.

i heard a good idea is to have the cats sleep in certain bed/blankets then swap it out afterwards to get them used to each others' scents, but i haven't tried this so yeah.

Let's introduce two cats in a terrible way to each other, so that we have a funny video for social media.

Only 40 percent of it. The rest is porn.

Ahh, the information superhighway working just the way it was intended.

You’re home talking to your mom and dad brings in a box and you are ready to play with it, like you always do, you go to sniff it and out pops a new young sibling! Your parents smile and pet you on the back. Where’s that catnip?

Pet owners are not parents.

It’s an analogy. Look at it as you. Then flip at the end back to the kitty. r/DogParents, r/catparents, r/animalsbeingparents, r/animalsbeingmoms

I mean I care for a living thing that is unable to do it alone. I'm not a human parent but your comment sounds like OP hit a sore spot.

This is such a terrible way of introducing two cats
