My two have an ongoing spat with the cat that lives over the road (I think that before we got the new pair the neighbour cat laid claim to our garden and still thinks it's his despite fighting with them for the past three years). Had a *big* brawl earlier that ended with quite a bloody laundry counter once I'd got the two idiots in. They're all fixed, so they shouldn't be that aggressive or territorial, should they?
Ours fights all the time, almost every night over the summer. He got quite badly hurt once, had a puncture on his neck. AFAIK there's not much you can do other than lock him in, which is no good.
I can't say this for everyone obviously but the fights always sound a lot worse than they actually are. A lot of screaming and hissing but with next to no actual scrapping. All mouth these cats.
