How can we keep the neighbors cat away to protect our own cats?

Question

My fiance in England has a lot of cat. Which is great! Except that there is a neighborhood cat that is just horrible, keeps beating up his cats... He's spoken to that cats owners and they won't do anything to help. What is a safe way to keep the mean cat away without hurting it or upsetting the cats that belong in the yard?

Answer 1

A Ruger in .17HMR...once behind the ear will do wonders.

Answer 2

Have you considered the benefits of keeping your cats as "Indoor Only" pets? In addition to not having to fight with the neighbor's cats there won't be competition with local dogs, nasty kids with bb guns, sick animals, poison on the cats' feet that they l**k off and die...etc etc

Your cats may not like this program at first but they will get used to it and your problem will be solved.
