I think I've mentioned our neighbor's cat, Tiki, before. Tiki is a huge bully. She absolutely terrorizes our cats. I can't let Patchouli out in the yard unless I am there to watch over her. Even Coco has to constantly keep an eye out for her.
Not only does she terrorize the cats, she gets on our back porch and sprays our grill cover. She goes on the front porch and sprays our front door and shreds our welcome mat!
I keep a Super Soaker Water gun by the basement door and I use it to chase her off. She is not the least bit afraid of me if I don't have that big water gun!
Even when I'm shooting her with water, she'll pause at the end of our yard and spray one of our bushes before dashing away!
I've also watched her circle around as soon as I go in and come right back over!
Oh well, what can you do?
I used Topaz Labs for my artsy photo of Coco keeping a watchful eye on Tiki.

Hmm . . . she sounds kind of like a bully. Mom says, "Perhaps Tiki isn't spayed? If she's not, that could be the reason for her being so territorial and spraying around your yard. You could mention your concerns to the owner and ask her to consider having her cat spayed if it is not already. Just a thought."
Brian says
MOL on the spray back comment. We have a bully that shows up here and wants to attack our ferals so the Dad has a super soaker ready too. Coco is very pretty!!! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Wow! I think you need one of us dogs to help out with the bully cat!
Andrea says
Oh my, that Tiki is a bully. It sounds like she is insecure about something.

Sometimes there is no choice but to spray back, MOL
Lovely pictures of the miscreant, I doubt you'll ever need a police line-up shot to pick her out.

If lavender will grow in your yard it is very calming and it might calm Tiki down. Some cats are very Territorial and for some reason Tiki seems to have claimed your yard as part of her territory.

No matter what, there's always a bully. Poor kitties. There's nothing worse than that spraying. I had a female cat who did that once. It was awful!
Ellen Pilch says
Tiki sounds like a terror. Her family should keep her inside. Coco is a beauty. Tiki is cute too.

There was a nasty bully cat at our old house in London. Athena hated him. Glad we're away from him now 🙂

Koz says there was a cat like that here! Her name was Snowball. She moved before Jo Jo came. We LOVE the Coco art!!

Tiki has the expression and stance of a cat who is afraid of no-one.
I am sorry she bullies your cats. It is not nice that they can;t enjoy their own garden in peace.
Catscue Catmom says
I really wish folks wouldn't let their cats wander at will, it is not safe for the cats or the neighbors.

Whoa....she's beautiful but not very nice.

Is Tiki and outdoor cat? Sometimes they are bullies because they have to be. I'm sorry your babies can't enjoy being outside without the bully being around.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday. My best to your kitties. ♥
