Kitty: How to get a male stray cat to get along with our indoor domestic cats?
Hi. We have 3 male cats that we have raised since kittens and are indoor domestic cats. We recently rescued a stray cat that is between 1-2 years old and just got him neutered the day before Christmas Eve. He is attacking our other cats by chasing, biting an scratching them very bad and he is being confined. Will this behavior change now that he’s been fixed? I don’t want to give up and have to find him another home because he is so loveable toward humans, but won’t leave our other cats alone at all and it is very upsetting to all. Thanks.

Give him some time… but some feral cats don’t adjust well to multi-cat households. I have a friend who rescued a female stray (and her kittens) and that cat still picks on her other two cats (one of them was also a stray, but she’s quiet and peaceable.)
If mr. monster doesn’t calm down in a couple of months, you may have to find a new home for him. It isn’t fair to your other cats and the stress of being attacked might start to cause behavioral problems. The last thing you need is a houseful of cats with litterbox issues.
Good luck…
Answer by griss0well, he was a feral cat for a while, and he probably had to compete with other cats for food and shelter. so he probably sees your other male cats as competition. i dont think hes gonna change much unfortunately. you might have to rehome him. you should keep him for a while though just in case he gets used to your home.Answer by Joyce R
No, he has been scrapping and this is a way of life, you can adopt him out to a farmer but likely he will never be a pet but good luck
