As one bite was on the front and another on the back, he is likely both attacking and defending.Bites on the front of the body usually occur when a cat is participating in a fight, while bites on the back half of the body tend to occur when cats run away.Putting a collar with a bell on will reduce the success of his fights and the number of altercations.Ideally, work out a "timetable" with the other cats owner so they don't go out at the same time. It may we help to talk to them as they likely have similar concerns to you and you can work together.Ensure your cat always has instant access to your house, which may mean investing in a microchip cat flap.Encourage play and activity as much as possible at home so he's less liekly to want to engage in fighting.Consider making a "catio" or enclosed outdoor space if the issue isn't resolving.
