I have a bit of predicament that I didn't have any luck when researching.
Today my outdoor-access cat was outside when a neighbor's larger, somewhat-feral and more-aggressive cat came around. The two, both males, began a staredown. It ended in the neighbor's cat chasing my cat. They ran into the crawl space of a nearby home that is for sale and vacant. (One of the crawl space vents was knocked out. It's larger enough for a cat to gain entry, but too small for even my head.)
It has now been several hours. I cannot confirm my cat is still in there, but I assume he is. Whether he's hurt, dead, or just scared, I don't know, as he will not respond to calls or treats. The neighbor cat continues to roam around outside and occasionally re-enter the crawl space.
I contacted the owner of the home via the real estate agent, but he refuses to let me enter the home (even with an agent) and go into the crawl space from inside the house. The real estate agent did say she would allow me to enter if I can confirm that my cat is down there, but I cannot get a visual.
My cat has spent a few days of his life overnight outside, so I am not too worried about him on his own. But I am worried he may be hurt and the presence of the neighbor cat will prevent him from coming out, if he can.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
