Cats react badly to change. They are notoriously averse to change of any kind, and moving to a new home is a huge change. Exactly WHY they are hissing at each other, I don't know, but it's a typical behavior. Lots of cats hiss at each other when they're put in a new home, even if they have lived together all their lives. If I had to guess, I'd say they might not recognize each other amid all the new smells of a different home, or possibly they are reestablishing territory amongst themselves.
Whatever it is, it is definitely triggered by the move, and probably is only temporary. It will likely stop in a few days, once they've started getting used to the new house. My female cat does the same thing whenever I go on a trip and leave her and her male companion at my parents' house. She hisses at him for awhile and then goes and hides someplace for two days.

You had a cat fixed two days ago now the mother cat will not have anythng to do with him they were close before you had this done shes is hissing and growling and even attacking him please help?
She may be doing this because the kitten smells different after spending a couple of days at the vet. My guess is that she will stop after about a week or so.Keep in mind that cats can really hurt each other if they want to. So if you see them "fighting," but neither one ends up bleeding, they might just be playing. They might look mad -- hissing, with their ears back -- but if they really wanted to hurt each other, there would be blood. My cats get along great, but they still "fight" all the time. They look really angry, but they don't actually hurt each other. It's just a game they play.Edited to add: since writing this answer, I have discovered that this is a well-documented behavioral problem. It's called "non-recognition aggression." It's when a cat comes home after being spayed or neutered, and the other cats in the household act like the cat is a total stranger. They may have vicious fights where they really do hurt each other. Usually, the problem resolves itself after awhile, but it could take months.

How can we get rid of a stray male cat?
If he has kittens of his own he should not be hissing at all at them. Just get the kittens to leave the male alone. Always stay in the room when they are together and dont let them to close together. Sometimes you should try making the male feel so special. I have a female cat and she doesnt hiss at any cats exept for if they are in my garden or house. He is just defending his home he will get used to it.
Once you tame a feral cat at your home can you bring home a domestic cat?
Yes but keep the new cat in a room by itself at first. Put a screen door blocking that room. This way the two cats can see and smell each other. But they can't directly interact. Once they both seem calm with each other. You can let the new cat out into the rest of the house.
Should you get one cat or two?
Well if they are adults, get two so they can socialize with tons of other cats. However, an younger cat may not appreciate having a friend around the house because kittens like to be the boss from the start.But if you get it from the BC. SPCA. and the script about the cat says they are good with other cats then take them home before you buy them and see if they work with each other.
