Well a couple of months have passed and I'm pleased to say Seth hasn't had to go to a vet following a fight even once since my last post. Does this mean my behavioral approach works, or are we just lucky? Who knows.
Anyway, I decided to update this thread in hope it helps someone else with the same problem.
So what I did to make my cat(s) ignore other cats they used to fight every single time? First I have to say that before we used to shoo strays out of our property if we ever saw them. I think this made both of our cats a lot more aggressive (especially Seth). We changed this, and for the last couple of months we wouldn't shoo these other cats away(there are two that keep coming these days), but we would talk to them softly, ignore them, or hold our cats not allowing them to run to them.
I think this did help. Few days ago I even saw one of the strays walk few meters behind Seth, when I came out the stray run away and Seth didn't care at all for him.
