My neighbors cat thinks my yard is its territory and its picking on my
pussy. What should I do?

Not just all noise and no go fights like white boys do, they actually fight
like dogs at each others throats with fur flying off in all directions till
they are interrupted. So I'm rather concerned since my cat is now injured
and I think this is going to be ongoing.

I had that problem with my old neighbor's cat except it would use my cat's
door and come inside.  I woke up to some horrific fights in my living room;
fur flying etc.  One time I watched the cat take a crap right on my rug.
Not joking!  (Not to mention that all of this caused my fixed female cat to
start spraying my house - UGH!)  I tried spraying the deranged neighbor's
cat with water, I tried loud noises, I tried clapping my hands, I tried
smacking it with a broom - nothing worked.  That cat hated us and stalked
us.  Finally the family next door moved and peace resumed.  So, I guess you
could try everything that I did and cross your fingers.  Wish I could help
more.  Good luck!

I've lived here 11 years and they were here before me, I think they've been
here for 30 years, I cant see them going anywhere soon . . . the people are
allright though, just their bully cat.

Have you asked them to try to keep their cat inside?  Does this happen more
at night or during the day?  If it happens at night, maybe they could be
curteous and keep theirs inside.

Lucky you..... I have the opposite problem.......

The ppl next door have a cat, comes into MY yard and picks on MY poor ol'
cat.

The cat's fine........ but the neighbours are bullys.... nasty, in fact.
They pick on me and their cat picks on my cat.

Sray the fenceline.      Spray parts of the home/yard where you want 'no'
cat to be.  I've heard spraying a carpet/floor with cloudy amonia works...
the cat won't go back to the same place, apparently.

kill the neighbors cat, skin it, broil it and garnish it with it's various
entrails, and dump bones over fence as warning to other neighbors. Fill
water balloons with cat blood, throw at neighbor kids, traumatize them,
repeat untl morale improves.

Oh, I managed to pick it up....... during a moment's pause during mid-fight.
It mad a HELL of a NOISE.....  I was going to stick it under the tap....
traumatize it but had to let it go.       30 secs later the psycho owner
yells out some obscenities and bangs on the fence.   *sigh*         Off to
buy some Cloudy Amonia today.... B B gun later.

Why do you respond to the nandering of a stupid troll?  Killfile em.  That's
the best thing to do.  Once a Troll always a troll

When we moved to our current place we put a cat door in and soon had
frequent visits from a very curious neighbours cat.  I'm of the opinion that
if our cats can find safe haven anywhere it should be in their own home and
therefore no other cat has got a right to invade it.  One day I heard the
cat come in and wander past our door to the other end of the house so I
sneaked out and made sure it couldn't get past me to the exit.  I then gave
it one helluva a fright.  I yelled at it 2 or 3 times, stamped my feet and
blocked it's escape route.  The cat literally went up the wall in an attempt
to escape.  I mean it, he kept trying to run up the door frame of the closed
door.  After I was sure that he was properly repentant I stepped aside and
let him run out.  I don't think that cat has come inside since.  He doesn't
seem to hate me either.  We still have our outside games but he doesn't
attempt to come into the scarey house.

Not sure what to do with regards to the original poster's question.  I had
that problem once and I tried squirting the cat with a water pistol but as
cats go, this cat was just too smart for me and he knew it.  Fortunately he
moved out of the neighbourhood.

most towns and cities have pet ordinances.. if this cat is being a nuisance,
and you are getting nowhere with the owner, call the ACO..

Those injuries can cause abcesses.  Do you have a garden hose or
sprinkler system?   Perhaps a few  doses of water from the hose might
work.

Not a solution for myself.    The back door and tap are on opposite
ends..... by the time I'd get to the tap, the cat'd be gone.
