So I’m not sure what to do. We have 2 neutered senior male cats (8-9 years old). We’ve lived here for over a year and our cats have had free access to outside for most of the time as I’ve been on mat leave.
One cat still prefers to be indoors, but the other likes to explore. This has been fine until about 3 months ago when a ginger tom popped up on the scene.
He regularly tries to dominate our garden and sits just outside the patio doors. Our outdoorsy cat has ended up in fights with this cat (one of which resulted in a trip to the vets).
Our neighbours have a female (also neutered) cat and this Tom has wandered into their house and helped itself to her food.
What do I do about it? I feel awful for our cats and when I did try at one point keeping them indoors the Tom just sat outside the patio doors taunting them. Annoyingly he always runs away when I emerge outside to chase him with a glass of water
I don’t know who owns him, either, so I can’t ask the owner to do anything. I’m half tempted to lure him, capture him and take him to a new county. But assuming that’s a bit unreasonable, what do I do? My poor cat is going to end up dead if this carries on (he’s a stressy cat who has had many trips to the vets due to urinary problems).
