As I expected ours has it's nose out of joint as this stray is invading it's territory. No outright fighting yet. The stray just wants to be buddies, however ours doesn't seem to have the same idea. Whenever the stray comes near, ours will hiss a lot, as I say no fighting---yet. If I can't find a home for this stray there is the possibility of keeping it for a while. I would like these two to get along if possible !!! Don't know if I can expect behavioural problems relating to litter box, food dish etc. Perhaps someone could fill me in here. This stray obviously has been someones pet, as it is fat and well fed and loves people. Tks. Dave.
