What can I do to keep my indoor-outdoor kitten away from stray cats?

Question

Hi. My kitten is an indoor outdoor and I wanted to keep him away from stray cats. I can't keep him indoors only because not every windows and back doors are closed because they need to stay open (in some apparent reason). What do I do?

Unfortunately if you are planning on keeping him indoor / outdoor, it is very difficult to keep him away from other stray cats. I would recommend ensuring his vaccinations (Feline Leukemia, Rabies and FVRCP) are all up to date to prevent transmission of these diseases. There are motion activated sprinklers you can get that will startle cats and keep them away from your property and you can find these online quite easily. Really, keeping him indoors is the only 100% way to keep him away from stray cats. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
