excuse me if the format is not correct - I've never used Google before
and don't know yet what to expect  ;-)

<<It sounds as though you need to keep them apart till he is less
hostile.

<<Have you talked to his former owner about these problems?

No, I haven't talked to her about it, I just assumed his behavior was
due to the fact that he is used to having to fight with neighborhood
animals, plus the trauma of the move and missing his humans.

<<In his former home, was he the only cat? If so, maybe you should
(with the
<<former owner's permission) find him a home where he could be only cat
again.

He was not the only cat before, they had taken in a pregnant female who
delivered at the house and kept one of the kittens, adopting out the
rest.  The kitten they kept lived with Big Kitty until they moved to
Spain, taking the younger cat with them.  I don't recall Big Kitty ever
having trouble with the female or the kitten.

<<How does the new cat act when your other cats are not around? Is he
happy
<<with you otherwise? Are you keeping him indoors full time? Since he's
spent
<<his whole life "mostly outdoors", if you are keeping him in full
time, that
<<could be causing him much stress.

He is very happy and content when I'm in his room with him, in fact he
was snuggling on my lap just a few minutes ago  ;-)  I am keeping him
indoors full time, and he hasn't seemed to have a problem with that, no
yowling to be let out or anything.  I let him out into the rest of the
house every once in a while (with the other kitties locked up) and he
just prowls around, sprawls out on the couch, generally acts like he
rules the roost.
