My cat hisses at new kitten but no puffy tail. What does this mean?

Question

So my Luna isn't being very accepting of her new baby brother. We have them in seperate rooms and it has been 3 weeks and 4 days. We decided to open the door very little today for her to see him, cuz she got use to his scent. She hisses at him but dosent have a puffy tail. What does that mean? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 months and 18 days old | 10 lbs

It may mean she is acclimating. Continue to allow her to see but not touch him. When she stops hissing, place him in a closed carrier in the same room as her. Once she accepts that, physically introduce them for short periods of time. Use a pheromone product such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser to decrease any anxiety.
