If you permit your cat to roam outside in the big wild outside, I really recommend you take kitty to your veterinarian from a early age and start getting him vaccinated! And make sure it is done yearly no questions! This is critical if you don't want your cat to get infected by nasties such as Feline Aids (FIV) that is transmitted through blood while fighting. This also protects your kitty from many other different illnesses in existence such as Feline Leukemia
(FLV). Additionally it is extremely recommended to get them neutered. Unspayed males will fight fiercely to get a female if she is in heat, which sometimes leave both cats in shreds and spayed males can find themselves amid something they don't realize if an unspayed male gets the wrong idea...
Cats scrapping outside at dark can be quite of a fright, as at times they can sound close to kids screaming or shouting, and it is positively the last thing you would like to hear when your attempting to snooze at night! My definitive method of eliminating cats engaged in a brawl is to turn the garden hose on them, as loud noises won't startle them in the slightest as they're concentrating purely on the opponent cat!
For home loving kitties, clearly water everywhere in the shagpile is unwanted so I find ordinarily placing a sizable item sandwiched between the two which will cut off eye contact with both cats works well. If they are engaged in a scrap, don't get in their way as cat nips can not just hurt, but tend to be more likely to become infected than dog bites. Use a chair and turn the wrong way up and use the back of the chair and quietly slide the stool among the cats, this will likely startle them and prevent them from fighting. Award the cats 'relaxing time' by placing one inside of a closed room for a quick duration.
A great tell-tale signal if a cat is wary, is that the fur will rise up all over the body and when the cat threatens or is prepared to attack, you will notice the hair rise up in a very narrow stripe over the spine and tail to make him look larger, and that is also a pretty good time to get out that hosepipe or stool!
With the average lifespan of an outdoor only cat if they are feral or unferal, is only about 3 years! Which explains why if you like your cat and want him to have a wholesome life, you can keep him in the house and he can live a massive sixteen years more!
Not only will you have the benefit of keeping your kitty alive for a longer time inside, it should save you high-priced vet expenses for infected bites, broken teeth, scratched ears, and so on by these vicious one-on-ones.
