Putting the Fear of God into Cats is Job #1

So for the past month, this cat of my neighbour's has been coming to our door and meowing endlessly. Didn't bother me, in fact, my little sister paid attention to it. Unfortunately, that is where the trouble began. It came back again and again and now feels like it is welcome here. A couple of weeks ago, it soon became very clear that it was NOT welcome here. My mother was walking in the door and this cat, seemingly from nowhere, darts into the house before my mother closes the door. It runs upstairs and into the kitchen and sees the food of my cat, Julian. He starts munching on it and Julian shows up (Julian is a very passive indoor cat, never really goes outside). The neighbour's cat hisses at him and half-way jumps at him to scare him away from the food. Julian wasn't aggressive, but he walked right up to his food and the neighbour's cat starts to claw Julian after jumping him. I'm upstairs and hearing loud meowing and such. My father fearlessly grabbed the neighbour's cat after Julian became terrified and ran upstairs. Julian was breathing heavily and hid, meanwhile, my father put the neighbour's cat outside. I felt so sorry for Julian and I no longer liked the neighbour's cat.

Advance forward a week, the power JUST came back on after being out for so long, so my father let Julian outside since he had been in darkness for so long without the power. I'm just sitting in the den upstairs on the computer, keeping an ear for Julian when he wants to come back in. Suddenly, I hear REALLY loud meowing and what I would call a cat version of yelping and screaming. I immediately knew what it was (for some reason I didn't suspect it was a wild animal getting Julian). I ran to the sliding glass door, thinking, "that cat is gunna be hurtin' when I'm done with it" I come outside and find Julian squished into the corner between our house and a planter as the neighbour's cat is seeminly mercilessly taking swip after swip at my Cat. I run right at him, he doesn't notice me. I thought of giving the neighbour's cat a massive kick, but I restrained myself. I didn't want to kill it, even if it was the Spawn of Satan. Instead, I gave it a huge smack, which caused it to jump back, while Julian immediately took advantage of and darted away and ran down the hillside. The neighbour's cat, however, stood there, looking at me as if saying with it's face, "I know you aren't going to do anything now that your cat is safe" and looking all innocent. Keep in mind, I was ready to protect my cat even if the other cat tried to claw me so my adrenaline was running. I immediately thought, "I'll teach you to come around here again." I grabbed the hose and hosed down the neighbour's cat, MUCH to its shock. It was soaked. It didn't come back the next day, or the next day, or the next day, it was finally like a week before it did. And when it did stand by the sliding glass door meowing, I took my socks off, bundled them together and threw it at the window and scared him away.

The amusing thing is that somebody put a collar on the car with a little plastic pouch taped to the collar which read, "if this is your cat, please do not let it outside. It won't stop meowing." So clearly, somebody else realizes that this cat has worn out it's welcome.

I end this post with a disclaimed. I do not abuse animals, I merely protect those animals that I love from animals which do not act loving to my animals. If you want to hurt my animals and you are an animal, you can be expecting some form of response from me and my household. Even if my cat is a lazy, out-of-shape-blob and can't defend itself. Let all cats be warned. I'm ready to put the fear of God into you as well! Even you, Spawn of Satan!
