Hiya all. Just to open up, I posted here once before, and the advice that I received was amazing. Also, very sorry if this is on the wrong forums...And, as a final note, I live on a farm, which should clear up any confusion.
Let's start it out. Years ago, my mom and I (I was 11 at the time) rescued an old, stray cat. We named her puss-puss, (Well, mom did), and she was a pure white -absoloutely- white cat, with hazel-golden eyes. It's been 4 years now, and we've moved to a farm, etc etc. So, on this farm, my cat's now roughly 13-15 years of age, as I guess, and this is where the problem starts.
My family loves cats, but we don't like having lots of them, 'specially in houses. So we only have two, my puss-puss and moms new kitten. Outside the farm, we have around 2 grown males and 1 kitten boy, and 4-5 grown females and 1 kitten. So, one of the grown males, Bencher (Very large, beefy, and horrndously mean kitty) owns the farm. That's OK, even though batches of kittens are springing up 2-3 times a year...
So, my cat (She's female) is a half-outside, half-inside cat. She's outside in the night, and inside at day, sleeping. Good schedule. But, this 'Bencher' cat is really, really mean. He's the "I own the farm, I do whatever I want on it" kind of guy. He's super skittish, and noone can approach him. So, I was outside one day, trying to coax my kitty to eat supper (I accidently stepped on her tale, so she's really grumpy), when I hear a yowling and screeching. I love cats, so I though "Oh no! Coyotes!!" and ran to the sound.
That dang bencher was trying to mate with my cat, but she was fighting back. He's about 1/3 of her size larger (She's kinda fat, but not really anymore - She's old), and alot stronger. In my eyes, I see rape, truthfully. I understand that cats go in heat, but this was in the middle of a Saskatchewon winter (-5 to -40 celcius, oh yeah), and my cat definantly DOESN'T go in heat. Hasn't ever since we got her. So, this bencher is beating my cat up. She's bleeding, and he keeps trying to mount her.
