New cat in the neighborhood beating up my cat...What would you do?

Question

My cat (outdoor durning the day and indoor at night) Has been living a carefree life with no worrys UNTIL (It came from Hell) . A cat that I have no idea where it came from (I know most of the cats in the area, and there all cool) just showed up in the neighborhood and started fighting with all the cats it saw! (mine is a fixed female) My cat no longer could roam the yard or do what cats do... Instead I would find her on the roof of my house peering in at the front door.
I was sick of this!! To me, that "cat from hell" had to go!
And as of last nigth, I took care of it. IT is now gone.
Here comes the part where I might get bad feedback.....
I set a Live critter trap last night, and within an hour, It was in the trap! When I went outside to look at the trap, That cat was pissed, and was trying REALLY hard to get to me! The cat was VERY wild! What would you do with this cat? mark this question..I will answer in next question. out of space

Answer 1

I read somewhere that indoor cats live an average of 5 years longer than ones that go outside. Cats are very territorial and they are also hierarchical, so there are always fights to settle who's "top cat". The new guy decided he needed to take over. I think the live trap was a good idea and you should take the cat, still in the trap, to the humane society or animal shelter. However, they might charge you a "dropoff fee".

Answer 2

dont be a irresponsible owner. That cat may have feline aids or a major disease. Here you are etting your cat out in a dangerouis world where it may get posion, ATTACKED, stolen, hit by a car, wonder too far, go missing and never come back, get very sick and more.

Just like dogs you need to keep your cat contained to YOUR yard at all times. Not wonder the streets alone. Just because he comes back dont mean he wil do it all the time. One day you will be waiting for him to come home and he may be dead from a fight or hit by a car.

Just because they dont have a law for cats really and more fore dogs is that dogs cause more of a threat if they run free for long. Cats they get hurt easly and the new cat showing up has everyright to roam cause it is wild, it home is out doors while yours has its in your home. So if you dont want an attack, have an outdor enclousre built for your cat. Just leavee the other one alone cause if its mssing with your home thenyou have right to take action but you cat is running lose so guess what get use to attacks cause more will show up.

Answer 3

Take the cat to the Humane Society.

Answer 4

Here in Missouri we have "Critter Control" this is a place where they will come and take away dogs, cats, opposims, racoons and other pests. I do not know if you have a place like there where your from but they remove them free of charge and test them to see if they are adoptable if not they go to animal heaven.

Answer 5

let the cat go. what goes around, comes around, even in the animal world. you don't want anything bad to happen to your cat do you? some cats act wild if trapped, but that does'nt mean that it is wild. that cat might mean the world to someone who loves it. your actions are cruel.

Answer 6

I'd bring the cat to the Humane Society and let them have it! Or put a sign on the cage and hope the owner comes to claim it, and let them know how lucky they are you caught it, and not someone who would have probably killed it by now!

Answer 7

I would keep my cat in the house.
