Hello. Our adorable little fluff ball is now venturing out into the garden. She has really taken to it. However, our neighborhood does have a lot of cats in it. All three houses down from us all have at least one cat (most two). And there are lots of others bopping about.
On her first day she had two spats with other cats. One was on a neighbour's garage roof (not the other cat's garden though) and there was a lot of arched backs and growling. She seemed to be being submissive though as I could see a lot of slow blinks from her. She came back home when I called her but it took her a while as she was scared. The second cat came into our garden and again there was a lot of looking at each other and some growling. She eventually chased him away.
My question is, should we get involved in these spats and try and separate them/chase the other cat away when they come into our garden or should we leave them to sort out the pecking order themselves?
When next door adopted a big old Tom cat I remember a few cat fights but then is settled down. She hasn't met him yet so I'm a bit worried about their reactions to each other.
