Cats Fighting Again

Neighborhood cats are fighting again. They hiss, spit, yowl, and screech, and disturb the peace. There is a big white one, a big orange Tomcat, a striped fighting tiger, and perhaps others. It is especially fun when they fight on top of my roof. The roof is metal and it magnifies the sound. I hear thumps, moans, groans, etc. Who needs TV when you can watch the catfights? Do they fight in your neighborhood? What would you do?

We used to have strays around but not any more, maybe the construction scared them away.

We used to have a lot of feral cats around here but the manager trapped them and took them somewhere. These cats fighting look like they belong to someone. They look well-fed anyway.

@Shivram59 I wonder if those cats get up in that tree. They don't mind fighting on the roof.

@akalinus I can't see them fight on my neighbour's roof as there is a banyan tree between his house and mine.

most likely y'ave got a female'n heat. 'tis mostly quiet 'round here, despite the herd 'f ferals. several 'f the females 've very lil tolerance 'f others comin' to their territory 'n when 'one 'f the boys' misbehaves, they're quickly put'n place. nothin' ya can do 'nless ya wish to go out'n darkness 'n hit 'em with a spray 'f water.

@akalinus didn't figure so :) dangerous out'n the darkness with water hoses anyhow - too easy to trip'n 'njure oneself.

Seeing that the outside faucet is on the wrong side of my place and I have to hook up two or more hoses to reach around front where the 'action' is taking place, I'm not likely to be doing any spraying.

I don't know who owns the cats. They just roam around and when they see another cat, they fight.

What happened to him? Is he still around? Why do cats fight anyway?

@NJChicaa Aww, so sad, but he had a good life with you. These cats are fighting on my territory and I don't own any of them.

@akalinus cats are territorial. My old man passed away from cancer at the age of 15

I guess I would just be entertained. OR I would take out my traps, catch them, and drop them off to some undisclosed location 10 miles away.

It is against the law to dump cats. You can go to jail for doing that.

We don't live in a town so no cat fights here. There aren't too many strays in our towns now. Most people bring their cats in at night.

This is a trailer park. I think that sometimes people move out and leave their cats behind to be someone else's problem.

@JudyEv Yes, it is. I have seen it in other neighborhoods, too. People move but Fluffy misses the moving truck sometimes. I think it is deliberate.

@akalinus That is so irresponsible to do that.

No cat issues here. Only dog issues.

What issues do you have with dogs? Do they run in packs and bite people?

@akalinus The list is too long to get into. I get tired of constant barking 24/7 in the area.

@JohnRoberts Yeah, I hear that. There used to be a dog next door. He moaned pitifully all the time his owner was gone, every time. I was told to be understanding because the dog had anxiety. What about my anxiety listening to that with no escape?

Am so confused now if that's a post on cats or neighbours .....I hate the yowl too but when I do go to hush the cat, the cuteness overflows from his eyes and I just brush him and come back inside again.... pffttt cats are crafty

Some of my neighbors may fit the crazy category. I have stories not yet told. Their cats are crazier but they are just cats and don't know any better.

@Loverabbit I think some howl at the moon. Dogs think you are God but cats think that you are there to serve them.

@akalinus hahaha I see.... its true some people howl and yowl, maybe they really evolved from apes to cats and dogs. I don't know why its necessary to make the entire neighbourhood listen how much an animal they are.

Where do you live? A small town, country, city or where? They are annoying.
