a few days back, i had the back door open while cooking, and the neighbours cat 'feline', entered, i shooed it out, and whilst closing the door the cat hissed.
The cat, then continued to sit outside my back door, intially sat upright outside the door, about a metre away,trying to peer in thru the curtain, and then stretched it self out outside the door as if it was guarding the place.
Last week i was out in the garden,cutting the grass, and it just sat in my garden, say about two meters away watching me.
However
Yesterday i was out in the garden on two seperate occassions, and the neighbours cat noticed my presence, from his suitors garden, and started running towards me at high speed, just as i was making my way back in.
Is the behaviour a tick for tack, based on me shooing, the cat out a few days back, or is this about territory, moved in about a 6 weeks ago, and there has been no issues up until yesterday.
I have seen the sed cat in my garden, along with two others, one male and another female, from the same household, and i have let them roam and sit on the porch, without disturbing, shooing or jestering them.
I have also noticed that there are now three kittens, who have started venturing into my garden, all five were in the garden, yesterday,the mother is the same cat in questions.
Just need some advice on what to do next, inform the neighbour, use some form of repellent, i.e. water pistol,coffee beans or citrus, a friends dog etc, offer it food to build trust, without any form of petting
an insight into the behaviour would also be appreciated
