The tom cat of the colony is protecting his food from the others. How can I stop this???? He will chase them and even attack. I have tried to swoosh him away and it works - but I cant do that all day.
It is very sweet in that he has taken over hte care of a smaller cat (whose mother I think is dead - shes been gone for about 5 months.)
The two of them walk together to the food every morning and eat next to each other. But when the others come around he will freak out - not sure if hes protecting hte "kitten" or not.
SO i started placing MORE food in another area. This morning he followed me from the woods where he was eating and started bothering the cats that were eating in the new area. I was really pissed. I care for them all - but he has to stop.
THis is why I think they are crossing the street now (which I posted about elsewhere)
THANKS
