I was in the back garden when I heard that horrible growl and screeching of cats fighting, so I went out to see if it was her. I gets outside and right in the corner of our close (on another neighbours garden) was Alfie, the big horrible cat from over the way screeching into a bush. I went over and sure enough it was Pops he had backed into a corner she was trembling and he was just swiping at her face. I houted at him and tried to get Poppy then he turns and attacks me, big scratches up my leg and foot. I am only wearing a playsuit and flipflops. Not helpful.
I didn't know what to do as I couldn't get near so I ran over to where he lives and banged on the door, all the while poor Pops is getting more battered, I could see they were in the back garden but they did't answer. Came back into ours and grabbed a mop.. tried to push him off her with the mop and he jumped over it and got my other leg all the while these scary growling noises. In the end the nice old man who lived there came out and ran at him with his walking stick and he ran off. I picked up poor Poppy from the bush she is all cut all over her face, shaking like a leaf and her fur on her necks all missing. ☹️
After I had taken her in the old man said that Alfie often attacks his wife when she is hanging out washing! Another neighbour popped his head over the fence and said that he has seen it scratch a little boy last week. The old man says he will phone the RSPCA but I dont want him put down they just need to keep it in!
I am literally shaking, my nerves are gone that was so scary!!
