If you have multiple cats, separate them for a few days. Gradually, reintroduce them. A pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffusers, may help to decrease any aggression. Providing additional litter boxes, beds, toys and food bowls may help to decrease aggression and resource protection. If the aggression is directed towards you, again separate the cat until he settles down. Survey the area for any negative stimuli. Reduce or eliminate any if found. The use of pheromone products mentioned above may help. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your veterinarian or a veterinary behaviorist. There may be medications that may help. It is also possible the doctor may diagnose illness or injury. Either can result in behavioral changes.
