Kitten attacked

I have two boys and there is a cat in the area that keeps attacking them. last week when they were out this cat bit Rascal and we had to take him to the emergency vet, then he was on antibiotics.

We let him out today under our supervision and once we spotted this other cat we bought them both back inside out of the way. Later today we heard a cat screaming and immediately ran upstairs to check our boys in the bedroom. Imagine our horror when we couldn't find Rascal. I ran outside and found him under my car and he had been bitten AGAIN.

I can only think that he managed to squeeze out of the partially opened kitchen window so we had to take another trip to the emergency vets and he is now on antibiotics again.

I really want to go and talk to the owner of this cat but I have been told by several people that there is nothing I can do to stop it. I don't want to have to keep my boys in as they love exploring but at the moment it seems my only option until they are a lot bigger.

Has anyone got any other ideas about how I can sort the problem with the aggressive cat???

Please help!!!

I would go and talk with the owners anyway. If there is no resolution, call an animal control service. I know its not very neighborly and I hope someone has a better resolution then I do, but perhaps that would get the message through to the owners.

We personally keep all of our cats indoors. Luna is the only one that has been in the outside world, but that's because she was found at a fair. Cats will be at a higher risk of cat fights and organisms that can get in them (round worms, milk worms etc).
