Behavior New cat

Um so I adopted a cat and she’s a year old and NICE AS FUCK to humans, but she hates my dog and my other cat. She intimidates them both and they don’t enjoy her presence. I am for now keeping her contained in the master bedroom most of the day while the other two animals have the rest of the house. I feel bad not letting the new cat roam the full house but I’ve seen her violence when she’s around my other cat and dog. Is this what I’m supposed to do? Also we’re about 3 weeks deep into her adoption. I just want the new cat to not act fucking cut throat violent and be cool around the others. Is there a chance she won’t ever be or do they usually get more chill after time? Pls help.

How did you introduce them? Did you go a slow intro?

If you didn't then you need to startover. I've added the videos you should follow. The poor cat is stressed - be house, be smells and two other animals.

Hope long have you had her?

Bear in mind that not all animals will get along - they're like people, so doing the intro the right way is really important.
