I live in a subdivision with deed restrictions, among those restrictions is "no outdoor cats". I have 2 100% indoor cats. There is a cat that is roaming around the neighborhood, doesn't have a collar and it's very skinny. I love cats as much as I love dogs, but this one cat it's getting on my freaking nerves!!! He comes to were Kiki (my cat) sleeps by her special window(she loves that window) and from outside he tries to attack her, he jumps and jumps to the point that it has torn out solar screens just trying to get to Kiki, of course that spooks Kiki and she tries to attack back, all this through the window/glass/solar screen. I'm afraid that either cat can break the window because it's that hard how they attack each other.
That cat comes to Kiki's window only, he can see Negra( mi other cat) and he ignores her. Negra's window is bigger and has no solar screens, but for some reason he doesn't care for Negra, only Kiki. Both of my cats are females and spayed.
What we do when we are home it's to let the dogs out to chase the cat, but after a while he comes back!!!
One night hubby was taking a nap in the study and Kiki was sleeping on his lap, well somehow the cat knew which room Kiki was and tried to get her thru the window, Kiki got mad and try to attack back,, of course hubby gets up trying to scare away the cat and Kiki jumps on hubby's leg and bit him and scratched him. Hubby was bleeding like crazy, we almost went to the ER, bbut the wounds weren't that deep. That's how crazy it gets when Kiki sees the cat trying to attack her.
I don't want to put chilli pepper in the backyard by the area where Kiki's window is because the dogs go there too and we also have a possum family that roams around at nights (I'm wildlife friendly) and don't want the possum babies to get hot by the pepper spread on the backyard or fence.
My next door neighbor told me that she know where the owners of the cat live, but if they hardly take care of their kids much less of their cat.
Hubby told me I need to go to their house and tell them to keep their cat indoors. But if the cat doesn't have a name tag they ca tell me that it's not their cat, I can't prove that.
I feel like calling animal control, but the cat is hard to catch.
Can someone suggest something else? I'm really tired of the cat. I know it's not the cat's fault that his owners don't take care of him, but it has gotten to a point where we are keeping the shutters close because we don't know when the cat it's going to attack again!
If I go to the owners how do I approach them?
I emailed the HOA last night, I don't know what they can do, but at least they need to know that ppl have outdoor cats damaging private property.
