Rather complicated because I live on a farm in a rented cottage. DCAT is 4 and spayed. The farm is home to a number of feral cats purchased by the farmer to keep the mouse/rat population down. They live in a barn about 100m from my house.
DCAT has always been an outdoors cat. Utterly miserable when I keep her in and just whines and urinates by the door (she’s never used a litter box)
We’ve had problems with occasional fights since we moved here but in the last six months it’s got awful. Farmer bought two new cats, one a huge tabby and another small black cat. They attack DCAT every time she goes outside.
She’s had a nasty bite to her ear, covered in scratches and bites. I kept her in for a month and she was awful, lost weight, urinated everywhere. I’m at a loss as to what to do.
I rent off the farmer and as sympathetic as he is, he is not going to do anythingn about his cats which have been here longer than us. They are all spayed and neutered and from a feral cat rescue.
Any ideas what I can do?
