There's a neighborhood cat that's been harassing my cat for the past few months - he'll come around in the morning occasionally and seriously agitate her. My bedroom is connected to a porch/ground floor balcony area, and has two perforated metal doors (layered with French doors) that lead outside.
Until recently, the outdoor cat just used to sit at the edge of the balcony, stare at the doors, then leave. Today he walked all the way up to the doors and was literally inches away from my cat, who was really upset and slamming herself against the door.
My main worry is, can Smo catch some disease from this cat from being in such close proximity to him? I'm paranoid she could get fleas, worms or catch something like ringworm this way. I'm also worried that he keeps escalating how close he'll get to her - every time he shows up he seems to get closer and is not intimidated by her at all despite her screaming.
