Ok thanks but you know you said gizmo needs to be spayed Marley is neutered so would he still be fighting it is strange I have 4 cats Sasha Marley Ozzy and gizmo they are all neutered but gizmo is not spayed and lately Ozzy has been a bit aggressive to the other cats and my family could that be because of gizmo or is it just a normal behaviour for cats to get a bit a aggressive some times

Good to know Marley is ok.
Yes Gizmo needs to be spayed. The Male cats next store are going to be very aggressive to Marley or any other male while she is around and unsprayed.

Male "Toms" as un neutered males are called are Very tough! Always in fights over females in heat, so poor Marley may just be caught in the crossfire. Might be good NOT to allow your cats to be outside--at least unsupervised.

If your neighbors do foster for a Sanctuary that Sanctuary should be called and told to have all their cats spayed and neutered. Any responsible Rescue or Sanctuary does not condone adding to the already too large stray cat community.  Call the Humane society if needed. They do not need to know the call came from you.

Good Luck with Gizmo and Marley,
CML

Kk I also live next to people with cats they work in a cat sanctuary and they look after cats at their house and none of them r neutered or  spayed coz they r breeding cats so I'm going to get gizmo spayed now back to Marley he so all ready neutered but as they other cats are not but I've been told on a website I can't remember what one but it is not this one I got told that cats that are not spayed or neutered they can be a bit fierce is that true
Any way back to Marley I took him to the vet and they said the cut was not infected so it had to be cleaned and he was back home so that was good news

......and maybe I misunderstood --is this another cat you have , and is it male? The other questions were related to Gizmo--the girl Kit.

I think I may be going MAD! LOL!

Hi BB,

OK!  Let me ask you for a few answers to some previous questions you have posted, K?

First--Are you ok with the fact she just may be a "small" cat
Second--Is she pregnant?

....and now she seems to have had a little "cat fight" with the neighbor cat and has a bite or scratch----have I got that all?

Well it looks like you have to go back to the vet and let him take a look at the sore. That is the only way you will know if she needs antibiotics. If it is swollen I would say it may be infected and therefore antibiotics are needed.

SOOOOOO if you have not already been to the vets now would be a good time to find out if she is pregnant, is ok to be rather small, and get some med for the possible infected cat bite

.  All of your questions will be answered with just one visit....but you must go now, infected wounds are serious.

Good Luck to you and your Gizmo!
.....but let us know what you have found out about your other questions.
Thanks,
CML
