Yes, they can absolutely become calm, harmonious roommates. I’ve seen it work many times with these two breeds. Both are known for their even temperaments, so there’s a good foundation. The key is a slow, patient introduction. Start by keeping them in separate rooms for a few days, swapping bedding so they get used to each other’s scent. After that, let them see each other through a baby gate or cracked door for short periods.
Once they seem relaxed with that, you can try supervised face-to-face meetings. Watch for any hissing or puffing-if that happens, go back a step and give it more time. With consistent, calm handling, they usually settle into a peaceful coexistence within a couple of weeks. Just remember, each cat has its own pace, so don’t rush. Does that process make sense for your situation?
