My cat's been beat up (again)

[BunnyKillBot]

Yep, tried a super soaker. Trouble is that he sneaks into the conservatory and even my best ninja style moves don't seem to be quick enough to get more than a couple of shots off at his back end dissapearing out the cat flap.

I have thought about using some other liquid in the super soaker........

I've also looked into changing the staywell cat flap for something better but I used staywell plastic tunnel to go through the wall in the conservatory brickwork so i'm limited on options (and on funds).

I bet you do it ninja style, all quiet like, and get miffed when it comes back.

To chase off a cat, you have to get over the top and melodramatic. Rather than squirting it with a water pistle (which it probably finds amusing), stare it in the face, make LOUD noises, clap your hands, stamp your feet and make to chase it.

You have to trigger its bolt-flight response which will make it think '**** I'm not going there again'. Just squirting it with a few ml of water it's more likely to think '**** you man, I'll be dumping in your flower beds later'

What about staring it down and then suddenly letting off an air horn, I'm pretty sure that would scare the hell out of it

Was that the "cut/bite" in the picture......

This calls for a Rocky / Karate Kid training montage.

Kitty style!

Get a better cat.

Chuck it in a wheelie bin, what's the worst that could happen?

Tell your cat to grow some balls, or stay out of the other cats territory.

AWWWWW!!!! He is a beautiful cat!!! Poor Garfield...

1. If the cat comes into your house again try and keep it in there.
2. Call the RSPCA and report the cat as a stray
3. When they arrive, advise them that the cat has been coming into the house and eating Garfields food and you have no idea who's cat he is
4. RSPCA will remove said cat and check it over to see if it is chipped
5. Put a poster in your local shop or on lamp posts etc etc saying said bad kitty has been found and the RSPCA has him

Nothing wrong with that. Of course 'Your a concerned cat owner and you would hope someone would do this if Garfield vanished' (insert fake concerned face or tears as you please)

Ah yes. Adding insult to injury.

Urinate on your cat, the other cats will fear your alpha urine smell...

 

[The Funktopus]

Our cat fights neighbourhood cats, however, they just seem to make a hell of a lot of noise without actually achieving anything. Disappointing tbh.

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

Ah yes. Adding insult to injury.

The mental image!

I have found two potential battle suits for your cat

If you can catch the other cat, mustard or curry paste rubbed onto the anus works a treat.
This technique can also be applied to larger ruminants or horses and donkeys should the need arise.
