hi have you tried getting him castrated , this may change his temprament and also ask your vets about feliway plug in , it works the same as the glade plug ins , it produces natural pheramones for a carming affect can alter the cats behaviour, give it a try? they do work.

My sister had a cat that turned into a babysitter!!!! You think i'm joking. She used to sit next to the baby at all times. I was the only family member (outside of the house) who was allowed to pick the baby up. She used to hiss and raise her hackles at everyone. It was quite amusing. just thought i'd pass on that useless information. Soz!

One of my cats is really nervous when travelling and started weeing in his carrier. The Cattery suggested giving him 'rescue remedy' (you can buy it from Boots -its one of the Bach flower remedies) Its meant for humans, but theres a lot of info if you google it for animals too.
When he went to the vets recently I gave him a few drops beforehand and he was calmer, so what Im getting at is that you give him a few drops before any men come into your house and it may help calm him and 'unlearn' his agressive behaviour.
Otherwise, it may be castration for him (pity we cant do it with all agressive males - lol)

My cat HATES men!

He doesn't hiss at them or anything, just runs off and hides until they have gone - even my dad or my brother (both of whom he has seen lots of times and should be used to by now).

He is 3 and has been castrated and he was never like this as a kitten - I don't know what has caused it
