I just wonder if anyone can offer any advice please. I have a nine year old rescue cat. We adopted him from a rescue centre just a year ago. We were told he was not getting on with another cat in the previous household, and there had been stress weeing and pooping in the house. He was very frightened, and had clearly been smacked at some time. We made him a den in a bedroom, as advised by the charity, and it took a couple of months before he would come downstairs with us. He has never wee’d or pooped in our house, other than in his litter tray. He now loves a fuss and a lap, but is quite nervous of change and noises. We love him to bits. But, he fights with other cats outside and is pooing on a neighbours lawn. She is furious and has been very verbally abusive to me about it. I know this is not nice for her, and have offered to clear up behind my cat - but she says she does not want me wandering around her garden. She does not have a pet, but is stirring up trouble about our cat fighting with other neighbours cats. This neighbour is known to be a bit odd and extreme about things, and I know she gossips and stirs things up. She knows everyone’s business. I am really upset by her latest tirade. The language was nasty, cruel and upsetting. I dearly love my cat, and want him to be happy. I don’t know what I can do. Has anyone any advise please?
