What am I going to do?

Was he aggressive when he was with just you and DH? I agree with Kazbah, cats are very different when they are around other cats. My cat won't have abar of other cats, but despite years of harrassment at the hands of my now 4 and 2 year olds, has never even swiped them. I would see if he calms down back with you think about getting rid of him.

Yes, he was very aggressive with me to begin with. He'd attack me and I'd literally have to throw him off me to get him to stop. And, yes, he is desexed.

oh my cat stalks me when he is in a mood and latches on with all four feet and teeth ... but he is part of the family so take him warts and all

ETA: I was just wondering and I don't want to offend by asking ......... do YOU still want the cat? If you are happier without him then get rid of him but depending on how you read your post it can read like the ONLY reason you want him is because he was a gift and not because you love him LOL

No, I mean aggressive as in would have ears pinned back, tail wagging, jump up and attack my face with paws around my head, claws dug in and back legs kicking and scratching me. If it was play he'd stop, but when I try and calm him down it just aggravates him more and he won't stop and my DH has had to 'rescue' me.

Moe does that too ........ damn cat ...........

seems to me like you have your mind made up already and just want others to say it so Yep, get online and search for a Ragdoll rescue service, there is bound to be one as its a pure breed ITMS ....... hand him over and give him a chance to find a loving home that understands the breed temperment ..... other societies and pounds might not know what the specific bred needs.

Do you still have the breeder's contact details? Often they like to know if you no longer can have one of their animals. You may be lucky and take him for you as sometimes they know of people who can take them.

Wow, I have not known ragdolls to be so aggressive in that way?

I personally have a low tolerance for that sort of behaviour from pets. If he is & has always behaved this way with you (is it just you or would he do this too DH also?) then he needs a good kick up the bum & put in his place.. Problem is, you can't really kick him up the bum LOL. Cats are different, its not like you can pull him into line with a good obedience training programme like I would suggest with a dog.
He is trying to be the dominate one & he is going about it all wrong. If it was me, he would live outside permanently (but then you may find the neighbourhood hunts you down to cover the vet bills for the local cats he is bashing up) or just get rid of him. Im not one for passing on problem pets so you would need to send him to a place that will assess his suitability for re homing. But honestly if he displaying such aggressive behaviour he may get put down. I would do as suggested above & look into a ragdoll rescue mob (if there is one local enough to you) or contact the RSPCA & talk with them about your options.

But in all honesty he sounds like an ******** cat that needs a good slap LOL

Not realising he was this aggressive all along, I agree with FJ.
