The cat definitely needs a vet check. Then it's time to assess if there have been any big changes in his life - are there new cats outside? New furniture? Is the puppy acting different?

To tame the aggression, try playing with him using a feathered cat tease-type toy. When he gets aggressive, if you can, place him into a "time out" situation - like a bathroom with a closed door for 15 minutes.

Try putting a few Comfort Zone plug-ins around.

If all else fails, talk to the vet about some sort of medication to help with this, and also to see if he/she can recommend an animal behaviorist.

Good luck!
