Thank you. I definitely try to exhibit a calm attitude and provide a cam atmosphere for them. I very much believe in that. Funny, I just realized the worst scuffles have occurred with someone else in the house. Maybe I will try the Feliway. I really think the trouble comes from him wanting to play and my other cats not wanting anything to do with him. I will work on making him more comfortable. Thanks for the advice. I will keep you all posted.

He is anxious and fearful and is picking up on your anxiety and your fear. There are people on this list, myself included, who believe animal communicators can help. If you are one of these, perhaps you should have one talk to all your cats but this lovely gentleman particularly. You can put up an area for him to go out in (mine have dog kennels with toppers; one of them could be accessed by a pet door in a window and ductwork). So much depends on your situation. RR, Feliway and catnip are relatively inexpensive and may do the trick. Good luck.
