If you let your kitty to wander outside in the big wild outside, I sincerely advise you take kitty to your vet from a young age and begin getting him vaccinated! And make sure this is done every year without question! This is necessary if you don't want your cat to become contaminated by nasties such as Feline Aids (FIV) that is transmitted through blood while fighting. This too protects your cat from a lot of other different illnesses in existence such as Feline Leukemia
(FLV). It is also highly recommended to get him (or her) neutered. Unspayed males will scrap fiercely to get a female if she is in heat, which can leave both cats in shreds and spayed males can find themselves amid something they don't comprehend if an unspayed male gets the wrong idea...
Cats battling outside at night time can be quite of a shock, as occasionally they sound similar to kids shrieking or yelling, and it is absolutely the last thing you want to listen to when your trying to sleep in the dead of night! My ultimate method of getting rid of cats engaged in a battle is to turn the hose on them, as noises won't startle them hardly as they really are concentrating purely on the opponent cat!
For home loving kitties, obviously water everywhere in the carpet is unwanted so I find ordinarily placing a sizable item between both cats that will cut off eye communication with both cats works well. If they are engaged in a clash, don't get in their way as cat nips can not just hurt, but tend to be more prone to become contaminated than dog nips. Use a stool and switch upside down and use the back of the stool and quietly manouvre the stool amid the cats, this will likely startle them and prevent them from brawling. Offer the cats 'time out' by placing one inside of a closed room for a short duration.
A good tell-tale indication if a cat is frightened, is that the hair will rise up all around the body and when the cat threatens or is prepared to strike, you will notice the hair rise in a narrow strip over the spine and tail making him look bigger, and that's also a decent time to get out that garden hose or chair!
With the average lifespan of an outdoor only cat if they are undomesticated or unferal, is just about 3 years! Which explains why if you like your cat and want him to live a healthy life, you can keep him in the house and he can live a huge 16 years more!
Not just will you benefit from keeping your cat alive longer in the house, it can save you costly veterinarian charges for contaminated bites, damaged teeth, torn ears, and so forth by these vicious brawls.
