New cat on the block

Vino's been visited regularly by his arch-nemesis, Spot, a white cat with a
big round brown circle on her side and a brown half tail and brown ears.
Vino and Spot absolutely hate each other and there is much yowling at each
other through the glass doors.   Sometimes she'll even try to attack Vino
through the screens in the kitchen.  When it gets to that stage, we chase
her off.
Well, there's a new cat on the block.  A gorgeous solid chocolate brown
male.  I'd love to fatten him up a few pounds, he would be really gorgeous.
Anyway, he's really interested in Vino and has been coming to our window a
lot in the last few days.  Just now, I heard him approaching, meowing
non-stop.  Vino heard him too and came galloping down the stairs.  Now they
are facing each other through the windows but seem really calm about it.  I
think this cat will not be Vino's enemy like Spot is...at least I hope not!

In our house it's the females (Luna and Maya) that hate all other cats
who com nearby. The males don't seem to care much, but the girls really,
really hate the other cats. Maybe it's a maternal instinct of sorts?

You may be onto something.  We're pretty sure that Spot is a female since no
pets around here are ever fixed and she doesn't have the "parts" that you'd
expect to see in a male.  So maybe it's Spot who hates Vino and is the
instigator of all their glaring and yowling.  She does yowl a lot and throws
herself at the windows, Vino never does that.  He usually just sits there
looking concerned.
Today was a really strange day for cats.  First off, Vino was downstairs and
awake all morning until about 2 pm.  This is very unusual because he usually
sleeps from right after breakfast until the afternoon.  Then there was the
chocolate cat who came by twice and slept under our picnic table on the
patio, and then I saw Spot in the yard several times too.  Normally I'll
only see one of them and only every few days.  Hmmmm, maybe the mothership
is calling them out to a meeting?
