Okay, I'm reposting was I posting on the group. Just basic stuff, what the doctor said.

Ollie is on Prozac for the time being. Hopefully it will help to calm him some. I love my vet. She listens and knows me.

Her speculation is that he was either and outdoor cat brought in and declawed or was an indoor-outdoor cat that was declawed. If the information was related to the shelter they did not enter it in the system, so they listed him as indoor only. I explained the issues with outdoors and my area, so he needs to be rehomed. Barn, colony, indoor outdoor, and he should be fine.

She said it's apparent, that even though he was behaving at the vet, that his personality is dominant and he's used to having his way. He probably wasn't well socialized with cats or humans (I called that right on an application), or even played with roughly as a kitten.

She gave me some excerpts from a book on behavior. I'll read and see if it helps. She agreed that the Jackson Galaxy type of intervention wouldn't work for me, because the behavior problems stem from Ollie's unknown history.

She agreed that the anal gland surgery wouldn't stop the problem. I'll have to let that one go.

So now to find a rescue or a barn or something similar.
