Unneutered cats CONSTANTLY attacking my spayed female?

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.

I honestly don't know because apparently "J" lived up sort of 5 streets away and recently moved here, but bloke who says "just a cat" has been there ages as far as I can tell, and I've now heard that "Smudge" is being fed in at LEAST 3 different places - like I said, a lot of people feed random cats here. Idk whether maybe knobheads ex gf thought Smudge was hers and so did J? Or maybe J left and Smudge kind of moved in with knobhead? Or maybe lots of people think Smudge is their cat but actually he's just playing them all off..





Not heard much more on any front and RSPCA have gone quiet too. Getting antsy as we are going away in 2weeks, only for 4 days but it's the first time I have ever left my kitty. She will be fed and kept in, but I worry she will be lonely, or that she will accidentally get out and Smudge will still be at large in the area.

My friend (who took the found kitten, who has been to the vets, is a he, and is currently named Paddy) suggests a trap and neuter operation of our own because it looks like proving ownership is going to be a proper ball ache here. But we would have to get him to a different vet as my vet know he isn't mine... And I don't want the cheeky fucker in my house for 24hrs while he recovers, in case he decides to add me to his list of many owners!!

I know it's been months but I only just got a version of talk that allows photos and I did promise.

What happened to the cats that were harassing her?

I think your a fabulous pet owner, I adore my 3 cats, if you can find out where the male un neutered cat is from, I would knock on their door a politely tell them the problem you have, but if you have neighbours like mine ( IV taken in 5 of their poor starving un neutered un spayed cats that stay out in the rain and frost ) they won’t give a damn, but name and shame them. GOOD LUCK DARLING 🙏🏻
