Short of keeping Enzo inside while they cat-proof the garden, no I don't think so

Provided that Enzo is fully vaccinated, including against Felv, it may just be a case of letting him establish his territory. In my experience, it's quite common for a few skirmishes (sp?) to occur with the local cats when you first let a cat go out. So just a case of bathing wounds with salty water while he settles into the neighbourhood.

Expected whilst he gains the garden as his property, gardens that dont have a resident cat are actually 'owned' by another cat who sees it as their patch. My lot have a garden each side so i hope the new neighbours wont have a cat or it will be WW3  :scared:

Neutered cats tend to just mouth off at each other  :innocent:
