Brain damage or not, he's normal.



He is just letting the world know this is his treat and he is not sharing. He may still feel a little insecure about his place in the house and is standing his ground. I imagine that when you take the treat away and give it back, he is learning the "big kitty" (you) is still top cat but that doesn't mean he loses out on all the good stuff. Just make sure if he gets brave enough to actually take a swat at you - you end it. Reinforce you are big kitty and you won't tolerate aggression. But praise and reward good behavior often, cats can be like kids, they will do what gets them attention over and over again.



Congrats on your new family member! (and love the nod to Dogma)
