Can Magnetic Collars Help with Introducing New Cats?

[Blas]

I am a newbie and was wanting to solve a pet problem. We have a household that enjoyed the pleasure of having two cats for about 7 years or so. The older cat is about 14 and the younger cat was about 8. Recently the younger cat died and within a month, my wife surprised both the older cat and myself, with a one year old cat.
These two haven't been getting along from the start. I realize this may take more time (we are in our second full month of again having two cats), but I would like to not have them harm each other. Soooooooooo, I wondered if the possibility of 'magnetic collars' where even a concept worth trying to further consider.
As you can tell by now, I'm a featherweight in deep science (so please don't laugh me to pieces). I just would feel this safer and less cruel than a 'shock collar'. I'm under the belief that the sheer weight would be too much for these creatures to carry.
But I need someone's advice on the power of magnetics. Is this idea one for trying or one for the trash can?

Thanks,
Blas

It won't work, and the cats would just end up getting stuck to the nearest metal fixture and end up hurting themselves. Plus as you said, such a collar would be too heavy for a cat.

Just give them time and they'll adjust.

The newcomer one-year-old cat is being ostracised and rejected by your original, long-time resident cat.
I have known cats that displayed clearly jealous behavior. Additionally, cats sometimes act selfishly and can be extremely territorial. I predict the older cat will not easily accept the newcomer.

Thank you both...once again proving science wins over emotion!
