I (19 F) have two beautiful beautiful cats. A playful orange (4 M, let's call him C) and a cuddly Tabby (6 M, let's call him B) and I love my babies to death. Now, my cousin (28 F) also has a cat around the same age as my orange, let's call him P (thing to note : I'm from India and it's very common here to adopt street cats. They usually roam around and eat and sleep at home. Our cats are like that). My cats are usually quiet and keep to themselves but hers is very aggressive. He, on multiple occasions have hurt my cats and us as well. My Tabby is a very scardy cat and is most of the times his victim. Nowadays he's so scared that he sometimes refuses to come home. My mom and I have also gotten hurt while trying to save him. We have complained multiple times but neither my sister or my aunt and uncle took it to ears. Their cat is not neutered which is one of the major reasons for him being this aggressive but they don't listen. A major incident happened last December when I was trying to save my cat from P and he scratched me very badly which ended up damaging my nerves in my fingers and I still haven't recovered. We again told them to do something or atleast get him neutered. They agreed then but still took no action. These incidents continued. Last night, while having dinner, I heard my cat B screaming so I went to check and he was being attacked again by P. I somehow managed to save him but he was covered in cuts and blood. I was angry and ended up shouting that if they don't take care of their cat, we'll have to take serious actions (I forgot to add that they live upstairs. We live in the same house). Now I don't exactly know if there's anything I can do about it but I was so livid at the moment that I said it. My mom says it was unnecessary and not needed. Am I the Asshole?
