hello everyone!
We have a 1 year old neutered male cat. Until now he had a fixed schedule. He used to go on short walks, close to our yard, during day, but by evening he was always inside. He never gave us any sort of trouble before. As he was early separated from his mother, (I found him lost and very young and had to take up her role for a while), he still thinks of me as her. For the last three weeks, his walks became longer and since last weeek he doesn't even show up in the evening any more. He only comes to feed. And he became aggressive too. It's like this neutering operation never took place. Our neighbours are very fond of him, and I suspect they keep him in their house for several hours and let him go late at night. My husbant tried to talk to them, but I don't think they will stop doing it. Last night we kept him inside against his will and after two hours of constant meowing he finaly slept in my arms like he used to.
If anyone has a clue on how to gain him back, please help!!! Should we lock him inside for sometime or is this gonna make things worse? I miss my cat and don't want to let him go.
Thanks in advance for your time and excuse my bad english,
Andrian
