Does Urban Cat Density Effect Aggressiveness? - 05/20/20 01:31 AM
Do cats (specifically, urban ones) get more aggressive in defending their territories as more of them move into an area? I can see it happening in the wild, but in a city where food and shelter is plenty?
Haven't had much of a problem in the neighbourhood until a (likely) feral cat moved in. Neighbour, who's cat has been attacked twice by that cat, said she's seen 4 local cats all standing on a corner yawlering at each other. Hadn't see that before. Almost seems as if they were seeing their ranges shrinking so they were all trying to reassert who owns the place.
Thanks.
