Aggressive Nuetered Male

Question
We have an agressive nuetered Male Cat that is so rough & agressive with our spayed Female Cat that it makes her throw up. He waits for me to leave the room or be occupied, usually starts with licking her, which she likes, than he starts wrestling & biting. She starts hissing & running from him & of course he starts chasing her & tackling her, if I don't stop him in time. He likes doing this right after she has fallen asleep and it quite frequently makes her throw up! I have to make sure he is confined at night. He is about 3 yrs. old & she is 6. Is he going to grow out of this? What can I do?

Answer
Vicky,

No the neutered male will not grow out it. Sometimes cats just are not compatible due to different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. To keep harmony in your home and to keep your female safe and happy I would think about rehoming the male. It is not fair to either cat, her being stressed and upset, and him being locked up for something that he can't help doing. Maybe the male would be happier being an outside cat where he can burn up his energy, as long as he didn't start acting like that to neighbor's cats.

If the female keeps being stressed by the male it can lead to physical and/or emotional problems, or a permanent personality change.
