I have been taking care of 3 feral cats this past year, and 1 addtional cat since this past October, 4 in total. 2 males and 2 females, none are neutered. My problem is with the 2 females. The aggressor is a Siamese, the other is a smaller, but full grown Bombay. Both are about the same age, around 20 months. I have been caring for the 3 since the middle of January of last year about 2 weeks after my elderly dog had passed. These 3 "cat teenagers" appeared out of no where, and have filled the pet loving gap of my heart. They all got along beautifully, all would eat together and were no problem.
The picture changed this past fall, when both of the females who had kittens last spring had left home, out on their own, or given to loving homes. The Siamese had made the front yard her territory while raising her kittens and the Bombay made the back yard her territory with her kittens. The spring and summer went along peacefully. When the kittens were weaned and are gone and it was just the adult females, the larger Siamese had decided that both the back and front yards are now hers and will attack the smaller Bombay when she enters the back yard for morning and evening feedings. It has gotten so bad that the Bombay will run up a tree and onto the roof to get away from the larger female. I am at my wit's end. When the smaller female feels safe and proceeds to get down from the roof, she will jump back onto the tree and I am deathly afraid that one of these times she will miss judge and fall onto the ground. (It's a long ways down) If anyone has any advice, please, please speak. thanks
The 2 males have never been part of the problem, they are both just happy to be!!!
