My cat is so curious to go outside, I let him out for 1~3 hours everyday when he asks.
Whenever he sees stray cats, he runs towards them and slowly try to get closer.
I was going to wait for the first attack, but since my cat and the stray were under a car, I suspected the first attack would be a punch on the head, and it could be infectious or deadly!!! So I rushed to stop the potential fight(I don't remember the other cat making noise, just walked forward then >>) the moment my cat showed signs of submission/weakness.
However, without letting him experience fear, he won't advance, nor satisfy his curiosity. Next time he gets in a fight, I won't be there to save him.
Was stopping them the right decision?

He's friendly to stray cats so I'm assuming he just wanted to greet this new stray cat. But the world isn't this peaceful! I patiently watched them staring at each other for ~12 minutes. The two cats started walking toward each other(my cat first, yowling quietly)
