I had this problem with my cats and a stray,like they were sorting out the pecking order.If the stray hasn't been neutered it's natural instinct would be to dominate your cat.I would feed the stray outside and if it does come in for your cats food spray the cat with water.
The dumb animal I would like to help you neuter is toke it up 420.:thumbsup:Quote:

One solution may be to just capture the cat and take it to a humane shelter or clinic. They will usually tame, spay/neuter, give shots, and find a home for him.
Aside from that, cats are very territorial and this new presence is at least very, very confusing to your cat. Get a cat door with a sensor that attaches to the cat's collar and works by proximity if he must go outside. They really aren't that expensive.
Has anyone here read that short story by Hunter S. Thompson entitled "Screwjack?" Funny as hell. He had a cat named Screwjack.

They are ok but I once had my cat returned to me by a woman from my neighbourhood ,she found him in her front room kicking ten bells out of her cat and she couldn't understand how he had gotten inside because she had one of those electronically activated cat flaps.I guess mine chased hers inside and was so close on his arse that he was through before the flap had time to close. :D ;) :thumbsup:Quote:

I'm pretty sure its legal to shoot the buggers anywhere. I love cats, but I grew up on a farm, and from time to time, some thinning of the herds was necessary. I've blasted my fair share of cats with no repercussions.Quote:

i didnt exactly enjoy it. and yes it was for their own good.
Set up a trap & take it to the local shelter. Those Have A Heart traps work pretty well & you wont kill it in the process.

I've seen people arrested for it on tv, whatever that show is Animal Police. I'd doubt it's legal in very many places.Quote:
