Hi,

I don't think there is necessarily anything "wrong" with this cat. His behavioral issues stem from his having been a stray, and the fact that he was recently neutered. He still has those hormones. This is why he is so strong and unpredictable.

If you decide to give him more time, he should be confined to his own room. No contact with other cats should be allowed while he is adjusting. You should spend time with him, but not pick him up or even pet him. He becomes overstimulated easily and I think that is why he has attacked.

This can work, but it will take a great deal of time and patience. If you are unable to do this perhaps returning this cat to the shelter would be best.

Regards,
PHKitkat
