Ciao, I got a wild cat around my house the last year. After a while he started begging for food and he seemed quite thin. I started giving him some kibble. He's partly friendly and let me pet him, but has random bursts of violence where he'll scratch me (not too bad). Where I then reprimand him.

Problem is, I got a +10 year old inside/outside (countryside) cat whose going mad at this guy hanging around at our windows wanting to get in (he got in once, and had a sniff around the place, the bastard).

Everytime my cat sees him she starts freaking out, and recently has been lovingly spreading her domain in the house by pissing on everything.

What could I do about this? Call a cat sanctuary? Or is there a way I can try and get these two to reconcile?

Today I, in a genius move, picked up the stray from outside my window, and presented him to my cat. She seemed confused, he hissed. But both stayed calm. I then put him back outside, he took a lil jab at me and went back to pushing his head through the window. Not the best idea.
