Question:
Please advise how we can control our cat fighting with the neighbour’s cat. He has been neutered about two months ago but still goes over to the neighbour’s house from time to time to “pick a fight”. We keep him indoors at night and do not want to keep him indoors all the time. Any tips? He is about 16-months-old (he was abandoned by our other neighbours and we took him in).
Thank you.
Elaine
Answer:
Cats are very territorial so the chances of you being able to stop him fighting are very slim. They will eventually sort out their patches and maybe you could talk to the neighbours and “time share” with the other cat to minimise incidents between them. You have de-sexed him and keep him in at night — which is good and the responsible thing to do, but short of making him totally indoors, there isn’t much more you can do. You can give your neighbour permission to squirt him with the hose — which might make visits there less attractive.
