My cat is six years old and she is very aggressive. She wasn't like this as a kitten, it just started years ago when my sister brought another cat into the house. I know that's natural when a new pet moves in but this never stopped. In time we got two more cats and I have moved out of my own so I have my mean cat and the other two. She is always growling when they are in her presence and then they go after her to provoke her more. I have tried to move her eating dish away from the other cats when she eats to see if that would work. She's six and I know she really wont change much but does anybody have any suggestions. She runs away from everyone else except for me but if I pick her up and another cat is around, she gets aggressive. Other then that she's fine with me. Any suggestions?

I would try giving her rescue remedy. Rub on drop into each ear tip. Try that for a couple of weeks. If that doesn't work try the feliway comfort zone plug ins. I recommend the rescue remedy because it's only 10 dollars for a small bottle. You can pick it up at local Natural food store. The feliway is a little more expensive. You can buy that on line or at a pet store. I have found it at Petco.

What is the resuce remedy supposed to do?

Rescue Remedy is a flower essence that is supposed to be calming. Some folks swear by it, others find that it doesn't work. It's worth a try.

If these don't work, you might want to ask your vet about prescribing an anti-anxiety medicine. These often work wonders in terms of taming agression by taking the edge off of the fear that causes the aggression.
