When we moved house in October, I thought it would be great because the cats would have a garden (we lived in a flat before). Unfortunately, one of the neighbour's cats (a big ginger tom) keeps bullying my two. They're always coming in with tufts of fur hanging out where they've been bitten.
We have a cat flap into the garden, which the cats use a lot, but they are getting so wary about going out because if the ginger cat is around, he'll chase them straight back in again. It's got to the stage where they prefer to be let out of the front door instead of using the cat flap. Unfortunately, ginger waits for them at the front as well.
Has anyone got a miracle idea that would stop ginger bullying my cats (and everyone elses). I've tried chucking water at him when he's in our garden, or having a go at another cat, but he doesn't seem bothered.
I don't know if he's been neutured, I can't even get close to him to see if he has a collar and tag.
If anyone has any ideas on how to stop him bullying, or on how to keep him out of our garden, I would be eternally grateful.
