My cat is aggressive and scratching me. Will neutering stop it?

Question

So my boyfriends cats became really aggressive BC I used to yell at him to get him to stop scratching furniture, BC when I first moved in, he would tell him to stop but the cat would ignore him, and thats the only way I knew how to stop him. Well since he has never been yelled at, he became scared of me, and now he isn't. This morning he tried to scratch me when I wasn't he bothering him. The first time I was just walking past him and the second time, he came up to me, will neutering stop it. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | 20 lbs

Hi, sorry to hear of this problem. Yes, neutering will definitely help with unwanted behavior. The best thing way to get him to stop scratching is by getting scratching posts and encouraging the cat to use them. To make friends with the car, sit on the floor with your hand extended and treats in your hand. move slowly and speak softly. It will also be best if you are the one to feed the cat. This will help him gain your trust. When he is near you and responding well, you can pet him gently, scratching his head of behind his ears. Keep it short, do this multiple times a day and the cat should come around. Don't yell at him or make sudden movements. Yelling will not help him scratching things. You can remove him from the furniture and place him on the scratching post to direct his scratching there. Good luck I hope this helps!
