Why is my cat acting aggressive and stressed since we got a new cat?

Question

I've had Slade since Dec 2015, he was always the sweetest cat, but ever since Princess came into the picture, a year ago, he's a completely different cat, he lashes out at her, he growls at everyone, and doesn't sleep in our bed anymore; he used to sleep in our bed every night. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 6 years and 4 months old | 14 lbs

He may be experiencing some stress and anxiety from having another cat in the house. You could try Feliway Spray or a diffuser and see if that helps. You could also try Solliquin and see if that helps. If he is still having issues than your vet could prescribe an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac. http://www.feliway.com/us/#redirected http://www.solliquin.com/
