im 21 (F) with an indoor tuxedo cat as he is very anxious and scared of most things outdoor but loves his cat window . i truly love him with my whole heart. recently in our neighboorhood this stray and aggressive cat has been coming to my home and marking his territory which has made my cat bery anxious which led to him attacking me last week (leg/ankle area) he drew blood and my foot is still swollen a week later ( yes i have gone to the doctor) .

i really hate myself for admitting this but i have become jumpy and not gonna lie abit scared of him even though he has been affectionate towards me since the attack i don't find myself connecting to him as much as i did before and he still seems anxious as i have limited he his time his cat windsow i do not want him to interact with this stray cat that has lured more cats towards my home .

i have triend cat repellent and all sorts of this things and it just doesn't work as i have a fairly large garden area .

i just feel so helpless and my partner has since spoke about surrendering him as he says he cannot trust my cat anymore .

any advice would be appreciated .
