Spat, or play? We are introducing 3 y/o female Bella (the calico) and 2 y/o female resident Suzie. They are able to eat around each other, they will sniff noses to greet, eachother, but often when they're near each other, things devolve into swatting. Any guidance?

Swatting is normal behavior, even among litter mates. It starts as playful grooming, then someone decides to bite for no apparent reason and it turns into hissing and swatting.

They'll figure it out.
