My first rescue, Newton (named after Sir Issac Newton -- the inventor of the cat flap), got beaten up by a bully cat next door. It got so bad that Newt started not wanting to go outdoors at all.
So, I got myself one kick-ass super soaker and started going out with him. When ever that cat showed up .... BLAM .... right in the face. The neighbor complained that I was tormenting her cat, until I showed her the photos of the last time I had to pull her cat off my cat, and her cat ripped the palm of my right hand open right to the bone (22 stitches in the ER). I explained to her, very rationally I thought, that her cat could either (1) be kept indoors, (2) be made very wet when he attacked my cat, or (3) I would give him a set of wounds to match the set he gave me. She opted for door number 2.
After a while, Newt would go to the door and ask to be let out, but he would wait until I was sufficiently armed and willing to go out with him before he would stick a toe out of the door.
