You have to train him to stay in if he’s been used to going out. Be patient and make sure he has plenty to keep him busy inside. You’re doing the best thing for your cat by neutering him and keeping him inside! Have a spray bottle with water near the door and if he approaches, give him a small squirt. One cat that we adopted had always lived outside. He wasn’t allowed in the house because the owner hated cats. He was loaded with fleas and ticks when we brought him home. He bolted for the door every time we opened it. So we used a spray bottle. He no longer tries to get outside and is a beautiful, healthy cat! He’s 7 now and I doubt he would be alive today if he had stayed living outside.

Monty101 - are you saying you've already tried the squirt bottle approach that animalover mentioned? What do you mean he wouldn't "listen"? A similar tactic to the water bottle is a loud clap and a stern, "No!", or a shake of a loud rattle (like a can filled with dried beans).

You must be prepared when the door is opened. We had the squirt bottle right next to the door. Perhaps you need to have a training session. Have someone open the door and be ready with the squirt bottle. It may seem like alot of work but believe me, keeping your cat inside is the kindess thing you can do for him. He's already getting into fights. It won't be long before he develops an abcess or gets some disease from fighting with an infected cat. Don't give up! Be consistent.

Unfortunately there is no certain way of keeping them inside unless you keep your windows closed and keep him away from the door. I agree with animalover - training him against going to the door is probably your best bet, other than quarantining him when you’re not home.
If you must keep your windows open, at least put in screens to deter his escape.
When you open the door, be aware that he may be darting for it. Stoop down to his level and open the door slowly so that you can grab him. When you leave, pick him up, get yourself through the door, then place him back inside.

Have you thought about building your cat and outside enclosure? I’ve heard of some people doing that and think it a good idea. If you have the internet try searching for cat enclosures for ideas. This may help keep your cat from trying to escape. I’m even thinking of doing the same for my cat.
Good luck.
