My Cats scared to go outside because of Psycho cat
Hi
We have two neutered femail cats, one like to go outside once per day while the other prefers to spend most of the day outdoors. Recently our "once per day" cat was mauled by a strange new cat which has appeared locally, now both cats are scared to go outside. Any suggestions. TIA Paul |

TIA Paul Probably not what you wanted to hear, but you really need to keep him indoors for now. Even if your environment is really safe for the cats outdoors, at least until the stray goes away. There are just so many diseases they can pick up from fighting. Even if your cat is vaccinated, he's still at risk diseases like FIP, besides getting injured. Good luck. Sherry |

Recently our "once per day" cat was mauled by a strange new cat which has appeared locally, now both cats are scared to go outside. Any suggestions. No matter where you live, stray cats can carry diseases that vaccinations don't protect for 100%. Keep them in for as long as they'll let you, then get them tested for FeLV and FIV. FIP is also transimitted by bites, but there is no easy test for it, so just watch them and make sure they don't seem ill. If they clear the health tests, and they don't want to go out, don't make them go by themselves. As you've learned, it can be dangerous. Go out with them if you think they deserve some time out. It keeps them safer and you can chase off any rogues. You don't let you toddler roam about unattended. Like a toddler, a cat can't protect itself from all dangers. Also like a toddler, a cat can really benefit from getting out. So, take your cat out. But stay with them. -- -- ~kaeli~ Dancing cheek-to-cheek is really a form of floor play. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

The other cat, the one who has been hurt, just seems to be accepting it. Thanks Paul |
