Hi all! Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same and has any advice. Our cat went missing for 6 weeks recently, and after lots of Facebook appeals/posters/leaflets through letterboxes she turned up out of the blue looking healthy and unharmed! Cheeky thing. We are very relieved as we adore her. We've noticed since she's been back that another cat who lives across the road has been 'upsetting' her. The other cat (a girl) tries to come down our driveway and our cat gets very anxious and upset and hisses/growls at it. I've spoken to the owner who we are good friends with and who is lovely, and he's told us to shoo her away whenever she comes. I was worried about doing this as didn't want to see cruel, but he assured me he wouldn't mind at all and that his cat needs to learn to stay off our cats patch. He was the one who suggested his cat may have been the reason ours went missing, and was very apologetic, but we of course told him there was no need to apologise as cats will be cats!
Our cat has been doing well being back at home and hardly leaves our garden since being back, but the presence of the other cat attempting to come onto our garden is distressing her. Apart from shooing the other cat away (by walking towards it and clapping our hands etc), I'm guessing there's not a whole lot more we can do?
Sorry to be posting about cat turf wars! 😂 We just love our cat and want her to enjoy her golden years.
