I'll throw in my 2 cents worth too.

My Smokey used to be very, very aggressive (still has some outbursts) I mean to the point where the fur really flew. So I began working one on one with Smokey. I gave him a little extra attention alone, had alone playtime with him and would even just take him to a quiet place...just the two of us. Now Smokey is the most loving, non-aggressive cat I have seen. I really think it was the "kitten" in him and I think, knowin his background, that he really was just looking for attention.

Don't get me wrong...we still have some outbursts with the others but for the most part they all get along really well.

If it were me....I'd take him at least for a trial period. --- Meg
