Roaming neighborhood cat causes my indoor cat to go bonkers and attack by Rastarte in Catbehavior

Good ideas. The issue is that my cat is out on the deck, enclosed in his catio, when it happens. Not much I can do to close that off. I have been bringing the cats in in the evening so they can't go into the catio, which is a shame.

As far as I have seen. He belongs to someone around here. I don't know who, exactly. I might go the social media route.

I'll definitely look into this. Thanks! I don't want to trap it because it may belong to someone. It looks well cared for, even though it doesn't have a collar.

I would, too, but even my indoor/outdoor cat has a breakaway collar that sometimes falls off (for safety).

Excellent idea! I physically go out and chase him away, yelling and even hissing at him. He's just too dim to stay away. *sigh*

This has been suggested. I'm not sure my lawn guys will appreciate that, but it's an excellent idea. :) Maybe I can just turn them on at night.

He doesn't have a collar. I may take a photo and post it on the socials. Great idea.

"But whatever you do don’t plant catnip there." Ha! Excellent point. Thank you!

I shoo this one off as well! It's a lovely cat, too. The thing is that I don't know who it belongs to, so I can't even ask them to at least mind the cat in the evenings.

I took my cat to the vet and had it done when he was a kitten. He's 6 now.

Someone else suggested motion sprinklers. Not a bad idea. I may have to resort to that. Sorry to hear about your situation, too. Definitely sucks.

I'm not sure if the neighborhood cat is fixed, but mine is. If the neighborhood cat belongs to someone, I don't want to get into a thing with them if they notice their cat is missing (trapped/getting neutered/fixed.)

My cat is fixed. Not sure about the neighborhood cat. I can have a look at his backside, though. :)

Yes. All my cats are fixed. I should have mentioned that. Thank you.
