He is a dominate tom and honestly there is no way i can take him back *dorms don't allow pets* and also my mother *who choose to get the cat originally* has moved in with someone who refuses to have him. My friend knew he was aggressive and is ok with some of it *even the fact that one of the cats has to be kept away from mine at all times* but! he has started spraying again *i know its because of the kittens were rasing for adoption that are kept away from him* but he is also totally deranged. and as much as all of us really love him he is becoming a big problem and causing lots of damage. We are takeing him to a vet but will that help?

list of things he does:
Kills outdoor animals
he bites scratches and mames whenever he feels like it
he sprays
he is just plain crazy *those of you with a dominate tom know what i mean as far as the lovable psycho cat thing goes*
Some of this stuff there ok with but is there anyway to improve his behavior giving him away is not an option at the moment. *they really do love him will the vet help?*

You may get mixed answers to this because a "Tom" is an un-neutered male, and later you said he was fixed. Has he always been like this? If you hand raised him, he may have never learned proper play and conflict resolution. The mother and siblings usually teach this. He may never fully re-learn these behaviors, and can't really be blamed for it. He needs someone very knowlegeable with cats and very tolerant. Most of all, he needs quiet. Other cats, pets, kids, and noise will probably cause him to overstimulate and start attacking, spraying, scratching, etc. He needs to be the only cat. He needs to be kept away from wildlife, which means he will need to be kept inside, with access to a screened window, or to be trained to be leashed or let into a screened porch for fresh air. He needs someone to play with him with strings, and cat toys to prevent him from stalking and biting people. He needs to settle into a permanent home, which can take months and possibly years, so he can get over his past and begin to trust that his life is stable.
