Nasty cat next door

Re the

Lupin you've just given me such a good giggle picturing you and your neighbour outside in your nightclothes squirting your cats with water pistols!

Regarding Catnip..... It is a plant that cats love. They will blissfully lie on it.

RAF - a friend of mine had a similar problem and got a cat flap that only opened for her cats as it worked on the cats' microchips, so no need for a collar.

It is the nature of cats, but I have a lot of catnip and they do seem to become quite docile around it, so maybe worth a try.

This does not really help your situation but I thought it might raise a laugh regarding bully cats: I have two brother cats who used a pincer movement on my sons border collie puppy. I watched them communicate as they launched their attack and saved the puppy just in time.

Well, he is all grown up now and he hates them. They vanish when he arrives because they know he wants to kill them . They deserve it. Maybe you should get a collie dog

My cats invited the neighbours round to get stoned on catnip. They loved it so much that they killed the plants. They also put paid to catmint by lying around on it after they got stoned!

specki4eyes Why not keep your cat indoors? She won't be bullied, run over, be attacked or bitten by local wildlife, including bugs (fleas and ticks), which she could easily bring into your house . . .

With sufficient to occupy her inside like a puzzle feeder,
various toys she can roll about, plus a cat tree but especially your company- should acclimatise to indoor life. Not forgetting a water bowl and litter box The
cost of toys and litter does not compare to vat bills.

Yes I've discovered that witchy cat was a feral kitten who was taken in by my neighbour. Unfortunately, my neighbour is away at the moment and has asked me to top up witchy cat's food bowl who is living outside. I'm doing it but it gets my goat a bit!

Just to put this to rest - I have to tell you that my cat eventually won the war! She now struts about her territory and witchy cat is reduced to glowering behind the wall. I do not have a clue how she sorted it but she now chases it off our property and it leaves looking terrified!

Phew! Cat wars eh.

It is a territory issue.It is clear to me that your neighbor has nothing to do with this.The best thing that you could do is to be friendly with your neighbor's cat and like f77ms said your cat's scent could get transferred to your neighbor's cat.Watering the cat down with a hose will not help either!
