A friend of mine acquired two tabby kittens about 6 months ago. One
day she let them out as usual, she lives in a quiet area, with garden.
After a short time they came rushing in very frightened, one of them
broke the cat flap and caused itself damage, ended up at the vets.
Now they have to both stay in a while [they are inseprable]. Shortly
afterwards a very large aggresive looking cat appeared on the window
sill,the cat's cowered, she realized of course that was the problem,
trouble is she does not know who it belongs to, and it keeps coming
back looking for them, she does not know what to do, as if she buys
things to put in the garden to scare cats off, she will frighten her
own, when they go out again. Any ideas please?

hello,

What your friend can try to do is the following:

Be aggressive (as human) to the other cat (e.g.: spray water) so it
realizes this is no (longer) his/her territory. Some cats will see humans
as a competitor (like they were a cat).

Now your friends young cats can again explore and define territory.

They will again be beaten (unless they grow stronger) on the other cat's
territory, but, so be it. Once are back on their own territory they
should no longer rush so hard that they cause themselves damage.

good luck to your friend
