If your neighbours cat is attacking or bullying your cat, there could be a couple of reasons as to why. Take a look below at our preventative measures for your cats to live harmoniously.
Why is Another Cat Bullying My Cat?
- Usually after first meeting cats will decide whether to be friends or avoid each other
- However some cats choose not to ignore the other one even though this suits both cats
