Among horsepeople it is known that sometimes the vet does not "get everything" when a colt is gelded, and you end up with a gelding that behaves more like a stud. I don't know if this is a remediable situation in a horse or if the same thing can happen with a male cat, but I was thinking it could be the cause of Eli's extremely aggressive behaviour.
Aside from attacking the other cats constantly, he sprays - even in the house at times. There has to be a cure.... Is it possible the vet left part of his testes, and if so, is it possible to have the situation corrected by more surgery?
I think in all male mammals a condition involving "undescended" testicles is possible. I've heard of it in dogs, so it's probably possible in cats, too (and humans, although I think they take care of it more-or-less at birth, in that case). However, all cats - male or female, neutered or not - will spray and exhibit aggressive behaviour if there are territorial issues. How many other cats do you have, and how does Eli get along with them?
