Stray Cat

[strawberryblonde]

Hi wondered if anyone can offer any advice . I have a cat which keeps coming through my cat flap not sure if it is a stray or not it keeps hissing and clawing my cats and they are becoming uncomfortable. Any advice on how i can deter it would be helpful.

Cheers

Is it coming in when you are not there? Next door's cat will come in at any opportunity. All you can do is deter it with a water pistol, don't leave food lying so it has no attractive reason for coming in. Do your cats try to chase it off? A good cat fight is a great deterrent, my Rover is frequently seen in a furry ball with next door's cat, rolling up and down the garden, it does keep NDC away for a while. perhaps you could try and catch it and see if it is wearing any ID, or ask your neighbours? - at least if you know it is a pet cat you can make sure it's had its flea treatment etc. Short of that, get one of those cat flaps which responds to your cats' microchips. Please don't get collars with magnets, my Rover nearly hung himself on one of those...

Cheers for the answer

It comes any time if we are in or not it really is a loveable cheeky thing but my cats wont fight back the cower away. I hate to think of it not having a home and if my cats were ok would take to it x
