By another cat, me and my cat have recently moved to a appartment, at first my cat kept running back to the old area we lived, I had to keep brining him back. Now at last he seems to have settled but a slightly larger cat that lives in the appartment is constantly terrorising my cat what can I do to put a stop to it any ideas guys. She is forcing my cat to keep running away, this continues and he could get knocked down by a car as my old house is quite a distance.

Find whose cat is doing it! Get the cat a small play house so that he/she doesn't have to get outside and be terrorised until you find which cat is doing it and whose the owner of the cat you can sort it out. hope i helped

Do you like your cat? Do you want it to live with you?
Do you want it to be terrorized or hit my a car?
If the answers to the first 2 are yes and the second 2 are no then why in hell don't you keep the cat indoors where it cannot be terrorized, it cannot run away and, barring some freak accident, cannot be hit by a car.
You cat will live longer be healthier, and be away from injuries resulting from fights with other cats, being killed by a dog (That does happen) or hit by a car.
You really have to be a custodian. I cannot understand why, with the cat running away on more than one occasion, you have not already taken this rather obvious action. How about a little common sense being used in this situation. Maybe you like chasing the cat or really want to to get whacked so you won't have to chase it any more. KEEP THE CAT IN THE HOUSE - END ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH A SMALL APPLICATION OF THOUGHT.

Keep your cat indoors. If you think your cat is going to run away again, keep him indoors for awhile untill he really adjusts and gets a feel for his surroundings. If your cat is outdoors, chances are they're going to get into fights with other cats. It's a territorial thing. If it's a stray cat, take it to the animal shelter and that should rid the problem.

Cal your community animal administration. they'll come on your place and set a stay catch interior the section which you maximum usually see the cat. stay traps are risk-free innocuous traps, by potential of ways. There are leash rules for cats in maximum places, so even no count if that's someones puppy, that's nevertheless unlawful for the cat to be off thier proprietors land. The animal administration will shop the animal for 3-7 days, so if it does have an proprietor he or she could have a raffle to reclaim the cat. If the cat is feral or wild it is going to maximum in all probability be positioned To Sleep. although, if the cat proves to be candy, it is going to likely be submit for adoption.

A microchip cat flap could help because it keeps other cats out your apartment and there is no need for your cat to wear a potentially dangerous collar.

we have a "cat bully" in our neighborhood too, and I use a spray bottle of water on him. Every time he comes into MY yard and picks a fight with MY cat (or tries to eat her food, or whatever) and I see him , I spray him with water. He absolutely HATES it, and it seems like we see alot less of him.
Something else you may need to consider, is that cats like what they like, and your cat may feel like he "knows" the old neighborhood better and continue to return there just because it feels like home. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about that....just try to make sure he has all of his same things that smell like him and keep him inside as much as possible till he "learns" that this is home now.
Good luck :)

Make it an indoor cat. The cat might like it better that way anyway, you never know.
