So there's this annoyingly fearless seemingly indomitable muscular young cat that up to a few days ago, I had no idea was going to be a big problem for me. I have limited cat food to share so I try to give to the ones I like. Prime among them is a limping cat and it's really pitiful and its fur is always in kind of a disarray. I feel sorry for it. Second one is a young quiet cat that gets excited on seeing me and follows me around wherever I go. Third one is a cat I previously liked but now it's relegated to only having chicken bones when I have them. It can't and won't receive anymore cat food from me because it violated a simple principle: do not attack kittens. It also used to make a lot of ruckus every time it saw me, like FEED ME FEED ME! Fourth one is the awful muscular cat.
When I'm feeding them, usually I will shoo away the other cats and it works. The limping cat gets first dibs and the young quiet cat may also join, depending on the limping cat's mood. Everyone else I shoo away. Well, few days ago, this muscular cat took a stand against me which was very weird because it had never done that before. Then I tried to move it away with my shoe and it refused to budge. So I applied more force and literally had to drag it away. It came back. Now I got angry. So I gave it a few light kicks, just enough to make them uncomfortable for it. That made it move away but it started snarling at me in the nastiest possible way and sat down, looking from afar to find its chance to eat the food. This forced me to stay and guard the weak cats until they had eaten the food. Yesterday, the bones meant for the other stupid cat were devoured by this muscular cat when I went away for a minute to dispose of the trash. Now I'm furious. It is time to take definitive action. I will prepare some freezing water and shock the bastard. Suggestions, advice, better ideas?
I'm curious if anyone here has faced such an issue.
