If you permit your cat to wander outside in the big wild outside, I really recommend you take kitty to your vet from a young age and start getting him vaccinated! And make sure this is certainly done every year without question! This is necessary if you don't want your kitty to become infected by nasties such as Feline Aids (FIV) which can be transmitted through blood while fighting. This also protects your kitty from plenty of other different diseases around such as Feline Leukemia (FLV). Additionally it is highly advisable to get them neutered. Unspayed toms will scrap fiercely for a female if she is in heat, which can leave both cats in tatters and spayed males can find themselves amid something they don't comprehend if an unspayed male gets the wrong impression... Cats brawling outside at night time is often quite of a shock, as occasionally they sound close to a child shrieking or shouting, and it is certainly the last thing you wish to listen to when your trying to snooze in the dead of night! My definitive method of getting rid of cats engaged in a brawl is to spray the garden hose on them, as loud noises won't distract them hardly as they're concentrating purely on the other cat! For home loving kitties, obviously water everywhere in the shagpile is unwanted so I find usually placing a sizable object sandwiched between the two that will cut off eye contact with both cats works well. If they are engaged in a clash, do not get in the way as cat bites can not only harm, but tend to be more prone to become infected than dog bites. Use a chair and turn the other way up and use the back of the stool and softly slide the stool amid the cats, this will startle them and prevent them from brawling. Award the cats 'relaxing time' by putting one inside of a locked room for a short period of time. An effective tell-tale indication if a cat is wary, is that the fur will stand up all over the body and when the cat threatens or is prepared to strike, you will notice the fur stand up in a narrow stripe over the spine and tail making him look larger, and that is also a pretty good time to get out that hosepipe or stool! With the average lifetime of an outdoor only cat if they're undomesticated or unferal, is only about 3 years! Which is why if you're keen on your cat and wish him to live a healthy life, you can keep him at home and they can live a massive 16 years longer! Not only will you have the benefit of keeping your kitty alive for a longer time in the house, it will save you expensive veterinarian expenses for infected scratches, broken teeth, torn ears, and so on by these nasty scraps.
