Horrible Cat! What can i do!!!

[Nosha123]

I have 1 cat and two kittens (who are just a year old now) and we have had some trouble...

I have a neighbours cat (from about 10 houses away) that has come in TWICE in last three days.. once at 5am and attacked our older cat (lots of noise... fur everywhere and poor Harvey wet himself) then the bastard cat came back again at 4am this morning.

I keep our cats in each night.. and block the cat flap (tunnel) with cushions to stop them getting out...

What can I do to stop this other cat getting in? He is sooo aggressive.
I am going to visit the owners tomorrow to see if the cat is neuteured...
I know he attacks another neighbbours cat too in their own home.

we had this trouble with a local tom cat getting in through a locked flap , my husband cut a piece of plywood that fits the tunnel and we wedge that in from the outside each night so he cant get in , if that doesnt work a large piece of wood stood in front of the door so they cant get to the flap

You're allowed to kill an intruder on your premises now.

I would try the really strong double sided carpet tape, tape it to the flap, also on some wood outside the flap, Bloody stuff is a pig to get off and once he tries to stick his head through, or get it stuck to his paws he won't come back in a hurry, P.S. Next doors cat is sat eating his breakfast next to me as i type, But she is a little cuttie and gets on well with my 6 ( she comes in through the flap every morning...lol

I lock my cat flap,so no others can get in,also,mine know that when the piece of material is over the flap,then it's shut(material keeps out draughts!)

There is one solution that avoids your cats needing collars - get one of the locking cat flaps which operates from their microchips (and I do hope yours are all chipped, it's the only way we ever got our Rover back when he went missing, do it now if you haven't already). You programme the catflap to each cat's microchip, so only they can get in and out - well worth it, in your case, IMO. You can still lock it manually if you need to keep them in (our out).

It won't stop neighbour-cat lying outside the house and mugging your cats when they go outside, but it WILL stop him being able to get in.

I would never go back to collar operated cat-flaps - the magnets are chunky and collars for cats are dangerous, Rover nearly hung himself twice with his ex-collar.

You can't blame your neighbours for their cat's behaviour - you need to make your home anti-visitor, they won't be able to keep him out of your house.

Thanks Boxy... Only just seen this.. and funny as I was going to look into it as an option! yes mine are all chipped... barcoded.. and scanned... ;-)
First thing I did when I got them all and they were 'let out' to roam freely!
I'll take a look tonight on this.. after playing hide and seek with Baloo that is! (he likes it!!)
