Someone is going to call me unreasonable here but I'm terrified/fuming right now.
My cat is tiny, the friendliest little thing ever. She is spayed, chipped and well cared for.
There are about seven un-neutered male pet cats in my area that I now recognise, as they are all in my garden at least once a day respectively. They harass my cat.
Last week she sustained an injury in the most unfortunate place; a nasty bite mark the vet says she will have gotten as she tried to escape "advances" from a larger male cat. I had her treated immediately and it was healing well. She has been allowed out for the past two days (waited for vet to say so) and then tonight I hear a cat fight.
I rush out to see my neighbours gathered in the road, DP almost crying, and one of the male "visitor" cats sloping away. He had attacked her, and the neighbours informed us that as she tried to run away she was clipped by a car.
It took us 25 mins to lure her out from her hiding spot under a parked car. The previously mentioned wound near her bits was torn from the male cat's attempt. No other obvious injuries but of course she has gone straight to the emergency vet.
Tomorrow I will be informing the owners of these unneutered males that if they do not go and get them neutered (it costs £5 ffs, I'm paying over £200 tonight just to be seen and we have money trouble) and they turn up in my garden again I will be calling the RSPCA. I think the owners are fucking irresponsible.
Anyone got a better idea of what to do? Not going to see my cat hurt like this again.

Unneutered cats CONSTANTLY attacking my spayed female?

Will she be coming home tonight then, and going back tomorrow?
Did they say what they thought her chances were? I guess vets might not want to commit to saying 
Is there more they can do for her in urgent care?
I know some people don't like this, but I might consider setting up a JustGiving page in your position. I always donate to the animal/vet bills ones. Do you have a circle of friends and family that would all chip in if necessary?
Hooray! That sounds very positive!
Good luck with the owners. 
Potentially awkward situation, but if they are cat lovers i'm sure they will be horrified at what happened. Maybe they'll offer to chip in costs? I certainly would.
Fingers crossed for her here OP xx our little cat was often attacked by an unneutered male - luckily she was never seriously hurt but she was always absolutely terrified and had to be washed a couple of times (i couldn't let her lick herself clean )
It's just fucking ignorant and irresponsible to not neuter.
Could you make / buy a run to keep her safe perhaps?
How horrible and upsetting. My old tom was sexually "got at" before he died by un neutered toms .
I didn't realise until I got him to the vets a few days later. Tbh the thought hadn't crossed my mind. I'm sorry if i've upset anyone
TheRollingCrone oh I am so sorry to hear that ic this thread has shown me anything it's that unneutered tom cats are actually quite dangerous. Thw only reason I knew was because she had a previous wound, and because of the ordeal with the neighbours coming out and all - before now I've always disliked the thought of any cat trying it on with her but never assumed it could lead to this. You certainly haven't upset anyone though x
Oh your poor little girl
Hopefully she has restful sleep and gets over her dislike of the litter and has a wee. Do the vets need a sample, is that the reason for the special litter?
RedSippy yes they need a sample but more importantly she just needs to go. We are assuming she hasn't done a wee in over 12 hrs now, and the vet is concerned that given the extent of injuries to genital area she may not be able to wee :( I googled how often they should go and it turns out to be only 2-4 times a day, but I am still worried. She dislikes litter in general though, especially new litter, and I assume she knows she is sore down there... Bit like after us giving birth maybe, I do remember holding off on the loo for as long as I could when I had stitches 
so I am sort of praying it is that and she will go by morning.
It is too hot here and we are both too concerned to sleep!! Massive sighs. I hope she feels better soon.
