My cat's been beat up (again)

You just let the other cat come into your cats home and let it eat his food?

He creeps in and out so it's hard to detect him as it's a catflap in the conservatory wall. I've caught him out a couple of times and sprayed water but with no effect so I guess it's time to take it to another level.
 
Why dont you put something against the cat flap when you want to know that cat will be kept out and your cat will be kept in?

I'ld be tempted to catch said cat in your house and take it to a cat shelter if it is comming into your home. Presuming no-one knows who the owner is.

If it has owners they can go looking for it, if it doesn't it will get it's balls cut off and rehomed.

This other ginger cat regulary comes in through our cat flap and eats whatever is going. I've got a staywell catflap but this big cat just knocks the door off it's hinges.

So my cat has been sleeping outside some nights or hiding under a chair.

So he's being terrorized literally.

Next time it comes in spray it with water. A washing up liquid bottle works wonders. You should not be letting it onto your cats territory!
 
How would it be stealing?

Are you not doing the responsible thing if a stray cat is comming into your home and no-one has a clue who the owner is?

i.e Catching it inside your home and handing it over to the authorities/a shelter?

The cat could belong to someone hence my cautious warning.

Allowing another cat onto your property simply because the OP hasn’t considered to replace the door (with possibly something stronger) on the cat flap seems a risk not worth taking since the OP is sure this is the very cat that attacks his.

If the cat were a stray, reporting it to the RSPCA would help it as well as the OP’s own.
 
Don't take your cat to the vet, he will be fine with out antibiotics.

As for getting beaten up, he'll learn to either be better or run away.

why not just knock on peoples doors and ask if they own a *insert evil cat description here* cat or know someone that does.

when you find the owner tell them the situation and see if they are willing to do something about it

So?

If an animal is coming into your house surely you have the right to catch it and hand it into the authorities?

Seems far more reasonable to me than knocking on everyones door in a mile radius.

It's not like you are stealing or harming the animal if you are handing it over to the correct people.


Edit: If the cat is owned, and they look for the cat, which they will eaisily find at least they can be given a telling off or something, and the actual owners of the cat will then be known. And if they dont take steps to resolve the matter it just leaves the OP in a better position.

Time to get a new catflap, I forget what brand ours is but if I push it with my hand it doesn't open. One of our bigger cats has been running down the garden and didn't give the magnet enough time to kick in and he literally rattled the door.. :rolleyes:

Either that or block off the catflap and revert to the old manual letting in and out.

Otherwise like I say you can't expect to let your cat outdoors and not have an altercation with at least one other cat. If it worries you then keep it as a house cat (mmmm litter trays).

From the OP's own posts, it appears as if the OP has done nothing to stop the other cat coming in, and has even allowed his own cat to stay outside rather than ensuring his own cat's safety, for some time.

I did post up a link to the Animal Act that explains responsible cat ownership as well as offering advice as to what sections to look at which might prove helpful in this situation.

Nor have I disagreed with your suggestions, Shades, so unsure of the point you are trying to make?
 
Dress up your cat by putting on a gangster hoody and then attach a plastic gun to its fur.

Get the cat flap situation sorted so it only opens for your cat. Solutions are available.

Invest in a mini water pistol and any time you see this cat near your property or in your house go mental with the water gun. It's harmless but does teach 'em.

Finally, has your male cat been neutered? If not then I suggest it might be worth some thought. All the hormones and feromones he will give off will only exacerbate the situation he is in.
