Cats are not naturally aggressive animals, avoiding conflict and the risk of injury if at all possible. Although they are well equipped for self defence they prefer to use their claws and teeth for hunting. Within neighbourhoods, situations will arise where cats are forced to protect themselves from more assertive bullies trying to encroach on their territory. If escape isn’t an option then a fight may ensue. Sometimes wounds are minor but others may require veterinary attention. Cats’ mouths are full of bacteria which, when transferred via a bite, can cause painful abscesses. Often, neighbourhood cats will ‘agree to disagree’ and avoid venturing outside when they know their nemesis is lying in wait.
