Re: Help please- my poor cat!

Thank you for this...sorry to hear about your cat and yes it is really worrying me and quite frankly having a negative impact on my life....let alone his! Most of the attacks happen in the day so I let him out at night, fewer encounters by far. But now he doesn't go out at night because of the changes at the farm. More miserable in all the time than getting ill once a month. terrible choice to make!

Would like to cat proof garden but it is very big, and the cat proofing done under one hedge didn't work...and then what about the hedgehogs???!!!

I shall have to just go out a lot and patrol I suppose and hope they all settle down.

Thanks for your response

I did find alot of the fights my cat was involved in were at night or early hours so we got into the habit of getting our cat in when we went to bed. Some times though it was with a bit of bribs i.e. chicken. I also use to be worried cars wouldnt see him at night even with his reflectors on his collar.

Cats can be so territorial but hopfully with time they may tollerate each other.
I dont really know what to say as cats will be cats and they can be fickle as to whom they want to share there spaces with neutered or not.
