cats aggresive what to do?

My cat is so aggresive and I am not sure what to do. He beats up my other cat, he hisses, scratches and bites me and my family. My family says I should put him to sleep but he is still my baby. I am worried for when I have children or when I move in with my boyfriend and I have to intriduce my cats to his 2 dogs. I have taken him to the vet and they just say he needs attention. trust me my cats are spoiled rotten and they get more than enough attention. My friends and family are extremely afraid of my cat and sometimes so am I. I have the scars on my face to prove how violent he can be. There is NO WAY I could ever put him to sleep but I was wondering what I could try to help the situation. Also, I might have to end up giving him away (trust me that will not be easy) but I don't know where to look for such a place. I don't want him to be put to sleep if he is not adopted after so many months. That's just sick. So can someone help me please. I love Jingles (thats his name) so much but I am afraid of him at times too!.

Even serious behavioural problems can be solved. Do not give up hope. Please post your message on the "Think LIke a Cat Board", also on ivillage. It is run by Pam Johnson -Bennett, a cat behaviourist who has helped many, many people with cat behaviour problems. She and the CLs on that board will give you advice.

Think like a cat is good,try it. Also how old ete. There are meds to clam him down to if really neede. I would not recommend at this point finding a new home!
