I have recently moved into a new home with my longtime companion Enu. Enu is basically an indoor cat, though she does have access to the patio and her box outside. She was a stray that someone took in and then gave to me when it didn't work out. Enu still has her claws, but was "fixed" by the person who gave her to me.
My problem is this - there are 2 strays who live nearby and who have been terrorizing Enu. They come over our fence and onto the patio and growl at Enu, etc. I have chased them away a few times, but now I am afraid to leave Enu's box out there when I'm not home. I don't want her to get into a fight with them (they are both bigger than she is). This morning, I chased on away, but not before he/she (I'm not sure the gender) had a chance to mark/spray just outside our patio.
HELP! How can I keep thes cats from infringing on Enu's territory (our patio) without having to move her box inside? Please advise.
