Bad Alleycat

[Ulysses G.]

We have let some nice cats with out homes stay with us. We get them fixed and give them medical attention and food. However, there is a totally wild black cat that hangs around the neighborhood and attacks any other cat it sees. All of our cats are totally petrified of it and it even sneaks inside the shop sometimes.

I'm getting to the point where I feel like I should kill it for the sake of the other cats - I really don't want to, but I don't know what else to do.

The problem is that I hardly ever see it until it attacks. It either watches from far away or sneaks into the yard and attacks and hurts the other cats so quickly there is no way to intevene. Any kind of suggestions to get rid of it?

Throw or spray water on it (a strong garden hose will do nicely) as soon as you see it.

If that fails, try to catch it and get ot to a vet for neutering, which will curb his aggression.

This cat is like the Tazmanian Devil of cartoon fame. There is no way to catch him.

There is a small tablet which I used to use frequently on vicious cats who attacked others on my property, when the lead tablett is placed in the cats left ear , the cat quietens down immediately, can be purchased at any good Gun shop Nignoy

I can confirm that water usually does the trick to keep an unwanted cat away.

A friend who has a phobia about cats got hold of some tiger poo and lightly spread it around the boundaries of his property. Solved the problem he says. The feline equivalent of getting into the ring with the Tyson of a few years back?
