Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Ongoing cat problem: N22

Hello

Unfortunately, there seems to be a rather aggressive cat in the N22 Boundary Rd/Downhills Way (near Lordship Lane) area. My cat has been bitten twice in 3 months (one time requiring the Elizabethan collar and 10 days indoors!) and this morning was scratched again, this time on the face several times (thank goodness not the eyes!), the right ear and right front paw. He is himself a smallish cat and very friendly to most cats who come into our garden. However, there is a nearby cat (black and white with a collar) that comes aggressively into our garden (hissing) and our cat and other friendly cats chase off.

If you have a black and white cat with a collar who hangs out in the upper Boundary Rd (near Westbury Ave), I wonder if you could check if it is well and make sure it is fixed.

with thanks and concern

It needs neuterig. So if the owner is reading this, please take it to the vet and get it done for the cats sake and for the other cats sakes.

If it was me I would take it to the vet and get it snipped myself....catch it and take it as a stray and they will do it for free!

I have personally done this before and the vets were very responsive and appreciative.

Thank you! That is exactly why our vet said when I took my cat in last week to look at second bite (which fortunately he healed on his own).

I will be putting a note through the door of the house where I saw my cat get scratched this morning and heard a person (the owner?) shout to separate the two cats.

Good luck! I hope the owner is reasonable.

It’s horrible for the cat to be getting in fights all the time and horrible for yours to keep being so badly attacked.

I live round the corner so if you do decide to resort to catching him I would be happy to help having done this before

Thanks, Emma. I'll let you know if anything develops in this. It breaks my heart to see cats hurt one another (or any being!). And seeing tiny drops of blood on the floor ...
