Aggressive Cat Behavior
Controlling Your Cat's Aggressive Nature With Appropriate Cat Training
Cats are an interesting animal that must be given respect. You cannot force a cat to comply with your rules like other animals and in fact trying to do so will yield in Aggressive Cat Behavior. If a cat thinks it is cornered or you are trying to force it to do something it doesn't want to do, it will either run away or go into a defensive position (if it thinks it cannot get away). You don't want to touch or try to pick up a frightened cat, that would be a mistake you will regret with painful cuts that will ensue when the cat starts to slice you with his claws both hands and feet.
A cat demands respect and there are ways to give it such respect while still demanding that the cat behaves a certain way. You have to approach a cat with diplomacy and tact. A cat that respects you and has a rapport with you tends to listen better but you will have to make the cat think that it's decisions are his (or her) own. You can find manuals on cat training that will show you a glimpse into the cat world, the cat psychology, so you understand the foundation of how a cat acts and reacts.
Knowing what works and what will become counter productive is key to training a cat to behave. Often a cat becomes aggressive due to being abused in the past, or people scaring it. Cats have a good memory and associate behavior of other people to new people until it has a chance to get to know the new people and realize they mean it no harm. Aggressive behavior is not always there to prove dominance or testosterone, it is more often than not a protective mechanism and it can be deactivated by simply respecting the cats space and giving him a chance to come around.
Patience is a virtue in this situation but you can not just ignore the cat and expect it to come around completely on its own. You want to communicate with the cat, place desirable food close to him but do not chase him into the pantry or force him to come out. Patience and time are needed and putting yourself in front of the cat from a distance will forge a relationship with the cat. In time the cat will come to trust you and will build a relationship with you.
Just because the cat is laying down right in front of you doesn't necessarily mean it wants or will let you pet it yet. Moving in close slowly like putting your hand near him and gauging his reaction is essential. Once he lets you pet him pet him for a moment then draw back slowly increasing the time you pet him each time. Once a cat fully trusts you then there are additional ways to train him to behave in your space.

Cat Aggressiveness? How to help-treat-cure- or medicate Aggressive cat behavior?
We have a 17 year old male cat that growls, and attempts to viciously attack the two to new cats that we've adopted. What are some possible solutions to cure this kind of aggressivness? They literally cannot be in the same room with eachother without a stand off!
-All three of the cats are adults
-All three cats are males
-All three are fixed
Please help, thanks.
I wanted to add....
My 17 yr old cat has always had this behavior.. I'm just looking for solutions to help suppress some of his viciousness. He has always been like this towards cats; his aggressiveness has always been Extreme! This isn't a recent personality alteration. I took all of these factors into account before adopting these new cats. I didn't get these new male cats for the simple fact of having new cats around. I actually rescued them from an unsuitable living condition.

Please help Cringer find a good home?
My 1.5 year old tabby cat is too aggressive and destructive and I can't keep him anymore. My ex abused him while I was at work (he didn't work) and now he is out of control. I've tried EVERYTHING and he destroys everything inside my home. If I leave him outside, he howls all day AND night. Cringer needs lots of attention and patience with a lot of room outside where he can roam around and play. Please let me know if you are interested in adopting this handsome boy. I have more information on him such as his vet, diet, treats, etc.
Yes, he is neutered. Also, I used to be a vet nurse and I know all the tricks and methods for dealing with aggressive cat behavior. Unfortunatey, he is an exceptional case that is out of my hands and experience.

Aggressive cat behavior... ?
I have two cats. My roommate, who's been living with us for almost two months, had a cat as well, so between the two of us there are three cats in the apartment. Things were a little rough at first, as they always are, but they settled down fairly quickly. Except now, my roommates female cat, who is under 6 months and isn't spayed, is acting very aggressive towards my female cat. She hisses, fluffs up her fur, cries, and takes swings if my cat gets too close. My cat pretty much ignores the kitten, so I know this isn't a response to antagonizing. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

What does it mean?? ?
Sometimes my kitty rolls on her back and looks at me and wiggles, obviously calling me for a tummy rub. After I rub her tummy, she holds my hands and starts to lick them almost ferociously!! And then she starts to bite, but never never strong enough to draw blood,at the same time kicking her hind legs. Is this aggressive cat behaviour??

Is he just playing with her, or is he trying to hurt her?
We got a new kitten, an 8 week old lively little girl. We have a resident cat, a fixed male who is maybe 1 year old at the most. She hissed at him a few times when they first were becoming acquainted, but other than that, I haven't seen anything too bad and we keep them separate most of the day and plan to for a few more weeks. The older cat makes this friendly *brrrrrr-burrrrr?* noise when he sees her, imagine a vocalized purr with almost a question-like inflection at the end. I assume he wants to instigate play. But the baby is small and wary, and she flattens her ears and hisses at him and swats occassionally...he never retalliates, but he tries to grab her by the back of the neck like a mamma cat, and I was curious if this is passive aggressive cat behavior? They both get the same amounts of love and they each have their own personal food/water/toilet areas and toys..
