Lately I've been seeing a stray cat come around. It comes right up to my porch and it's not making my cats happy at all. I want to nip this quickly and save my own cats stress from this stranger coming around. I really don't want them to start to get territorial and making messes. Cassie is already displaying protectiveness over me whenever this guy comes around; she's highly stressed.
I live in a 2 story condo. Someone here is feeding this cat and I don't know who. I see cat bowl out (There's one 'community' cat that one person feeds and claims she only feeds that one, but not any others- who knows if this new cat has taken the food). I asked the board to enforce the "Do not feed wildlife" rule which I feel should apply to stray cats as well- last thing I want is an over population and issues that comes with feeding a colony of cats (I apologize if it makes me sound bad, but.. you know.) It runs off when I get too close to the door, so I can't see if there's a collar or not. I've been asking if anyone owns it in the area.
As I mentioned, I live in a condo and I really don't know how to keep this feline away from my door. I have no property, just a porch. There's no way for me to put a motion sensor out there, mainly due to people walking by and setting it off. Evidently it's bothering my other neighbors cats as well. I can't screen in my porch, not allowed. No blinds, this door is in my kitchen and I don't like having blinds right next to my stove- and it's my main exit- blinds are a pain to go in and out- hence why I have that privacy film and just left the bottom for the cats to see out. My own cats join me on my porch, I don't want to spray anything down to deter them away.
Anyone have suggestions?
