My inddor cat gets some outside time. But we always have to be careful, because he chases all the other neighbour hood cats and is always in a fiught. If we take him to my cousins, he always hisses at there cats. He scares ever cat away, i cant let him out of the house or one day some other bigger cat will really hurt him!

Cats are territorial animals, and yours is more so than most. You may need to keep him indoors and leave him at home when you go see your cousins.
Has he been neuterred? If not, he should be: Full males are more territorial than the neuterred ones, and more likely to go roaming.

As everyone here has said, cats are territorial and the behavior you're seeing has more to do with your cat trying to establish his supremacy in his surroundings than with not liking other cats. Cats don't live in packs like dogs do, and have no urge to socialize with strange cats. It's true that neutering a cat will reduce the aggression but it's not a foolproof fix. Some cats, like some people, are just more dominant and aggressive than others. I had a female who would take on all comers, including large dogs and possums. Needless to say, we tried to keep her in the house. She was absolutely convinced that everything she saw belonged to her and she wouldn't allow any animal on "her" property. You can either keep the cat in all the time or accept that when he gets out he's going to duke it out with the other cats.

you could not. the terrific element to do is to get him neutered and shop him indoors the place he's risk-free. Six years previous isn't very previous. Cats can stay to be 25-30 years. that's previous for a cat that is going exterior so he has been very fortunate. in case you retain your cat risk-free interior you will not have the vet costs you have now and your cat won't like it interior the beginning up yet will learn how to be very pleased and content textile to stay interior the place that's risk-free.

Just keep your cat inside. Grow cats are notorious for not getting along with cats they don't know, they arn't like dogs who, when socialized properly, can get along with other dogs well. Don't take your cat to your cousins' if you know it will cause a fight.

Have you had your cat neutered, they are very aggressive
if not fixed, do that immediately if you have not already
you will see within 1-2 months he will be very docile and
will not even want to go out.
Good luck, and please keep your cat indoors, only bad
things happy to animals when not contained.

Cats are territorial.
Is your cat fixed? you didn't say how old he was...
Sometimes they calm down after that operation sometimes its just the personality.

Neutering sure cuts down on that agressive behavior. Maybe you have already done that. You don't say.
