I need some help with my cats...

So I have 4 cats. One of them is VERY temperamental...

They are indoor cats and lately every time my cat Oscar goes to look out the window, when he comes down he becomes a FREAK and starts hissing and trying to attack my other cats. I mean, fluffed out tail, groaning, the works. We occasionally have cats in the yard or birds coming near the window. I'm thinking this is what's freaking him out.

I took him to the vet to be checked out physically but apparently this is definitely a behavioral problem. They recommended that I get fel-away, which I've done, but nothing is helping.

Any suggestions? Thanks...

ETA: The cats are all neutered/spayed.

Believe it or not, my mom has this problem with her FEMALE cat!!!

Doodle started spraying all over the place, and my mom had no clue why. She came to realize that there was an unneutered male hanging around outside the house, upsetting her. My mom tried the Fel-away as well, and it seemed to work for awhile, but it stopped working.

Honestly, the only thing that seems to work is to close all the blinds before she leaves for work. It makes the house really dark, but at least the cat doesn't get upset by "intruders". I hope you get some relief!!
