another new cat after loosing v

got a new cat just a few days ago after loosing v .  the new cat ,eva or evangaline,looks just like v ;the only promblem is that eva is hostile to other cats and it looks like  she got abanded becuase she won't go out side . looks like she got attacked to which could explain whys she hostile..... HELP PLEASE!!!!!

how did you introduce her to the other cats? It's best to keep them separate for a few days and let them get to know each other gradually.

That said, it is normal for cats to his at strange cats and show defensive hostility. Try giving her her own area with her own bed and dish, in a separate room if possible. They can sniff each other under the door and get accustomed to each other. Give treats all around when she is in the room with the other cats, so that they are all of them occupied with treats instead of each other. Reassure her by petting her and talking to her so she feels safe in the presence of the others.

Be patient, it takes time to introduce an adult cat to a household. But it can usually be done successfully.

Yes, cats in pain dont have the same patience as otherwise, and it shows they are teaching lessons to the other cats, whatever lessons are needed or not.

The other poster did gave some good remarks and advices.

It could be good to let a vet look at this, and at the same time,  see if she is preg OR  make appointment for  spaying.

A common cause cats get abandoned is when they get in circumstances,  or  being loudly in heat.   After being thrown out they get of course pregnant, if they werent before.

Tx for caring!

Good luck!
