    Ok, so now I'm confused.

    I put him back in his room and locked the door (it doesn't shut unless its locked from the outside) A few hours alter I went in to check on him. Upon opening the door, I saw Pouncer on the bed all content and peaceful. After a stunned moment, he jumped off the bed and ran downstairs. He's all relaxed.... not at all hissy or spooked. Tuscan was hiding under the bed. What on earth went on in that room?

    The butt-wiggle and pounce sound like play-time! (And he IS a big cat!)

    If there is real screeching, ears FLAT back, howling and blood - THEN that is aggression.

    I think he is just a happy guy and likes to play - and wonders what is wrong with everyone else!

    One cat at a time in one room...I guess he feels that is "his" room, and there is less of a problem there.

    I think once one of the other cats draws the line and smacks him back, things will settle down.

    Or - you could put him in his room and bring each cat in one at a time, supervised.

    Might have to do the old dab-everyone-with-vanilla-extract trick!

    It's quite easy to know what happened Kim from what you said. Dear Pouncer showed Tuscan just who the boss is in the house.

    Like others have said, to me if there is no growling, spitting, hissing or screeching, then I think he is just playing. Mind you, with fur flying he is obviously playing a little to rough.
