We have 2 spayed females and 3 neutered males. The little boy cat, Gray Baby, is about 3 years old - the rest are about 2 years old. They all got along very well - Gray Baby would play and cuddle with all the others. He was a sweet and affectionate cat. The rest of the kitties are as well.
BUT, he got out one night a couple months ago. We found him the next morning. I couldn't see any injuries on him, but he suddenly got in ferocious fights with the other boy cats. He would growl and hiss; they would come up to him, curious as to what on earth was going on, and he would attack. I finally ended up putting him in the garage because of the incredible fights. Bear in mind the boy cats do not attack him or corner him - Gray Baby just goes crazy hissing, spitting and growling when he sees one. The girl cats will go in the garage to check him out, and he does not fight with them. I can still pet him, pick him up and cuddle him - in the garage.
He's been living in the garage for a couple months now. I hate it, but I don't know what to do. I thought he would get over it eventually, but it doesn't seem to be easing up. When I carry him into the house he starts hissing and fighting me, especially if the boy cats are around.
Is there any medication the vet could prescribe? I think it would take a lot of time, work and behavioral training on my part to get him better - if it would work at all.
thanks for any advice!
