A long shot but does anyone recognise this cat?
He or she really likes to hang in my garden (I'm just behind Albany Road), which I have no problem with, but I have never met such an aggressive cat before! I refer to them as Miss Grumpy (although no idea if actually male/female because you can't get close enough!) At two metres distance, the tail flick starts, any closer than that and they hiss or growl. If you ignore that (like when I tried to walk past them once along my metre wide path) and you will get swatted, with claws out! Plus they fight every other cat that dares come in my garden while they're sunbathing.
I'm just curious as to whether they don't like strangers, or are like this with their owner as well! I don't think this cat is in any danger, they're obviously well fed, are a little matted in places but TBF I wouldn't want to try grooming them either! I'm assuming maybe at some point they've had bad experiences with humans and I'm happy to keep a respectable distance from Miss Grumpy whenever they appear!
Oh and if anyone knows the owners of Grace and Finlay and those owners are wondering why they might come home with scratches from time to time, or where Grace learned to growl like that... This cat is why!
