Cats facing up to each other, should I worry?

I wouldn't worry, numberplease. He has to assert himself and this is what he's doing - showing the other cat that it's not welcome on his (Pepper's) territory. They may end up having a bit of a scrap, but you'll just have to let him carry on with it, or the other cat will think Pepper's a pushover. (My Daisy looks very angelic, but has definitely asserted herself in the immediate area)! smile

We took in a cat from a rescue centre a few weeks ago, a one year old neutered male. He`s settled in extremely well, but has only started to go out this week, after having his vaccinations. He`s met up with what seems to be the only other cat around our immediate area, and they stand about a foot apart, yowling at each other, VERY loudly. I`ve been standing guard in case a fight ensues, as we`ve never had a male cat before, always females, and am not sure if they`re squaring up to fight, just declaring each others territory, or making friends. Anyone any ideas?
