Hi,
A feral cat had adopted me about 8 months ago who later gave birth to 3 kittens. She and her kittens (2 females) have been living with us since then.
I have noticed a tom who is constantly monitoring the cat's movement for last one week. He has engaged in fight with my cat a few times. On two different occasions, he even grabbed/attacked one of the kittens, fortunately I was there both the time to help them escape.
My cat was very anxious last night, when I tried to put her to bed (most probably due to the tom's presence). She left the room and went out. I haven't seen her ever since. Though, I have seen the Tom again today and he has been around since evening. It's been about 24 hours since I saw her and she has never left house for that long ever since. Can the tom be the reason for her disappearance ? Can he kill/injure her ? Is she scared to return ?
I am very worried about my cat.
