Aggression within a local cat population may be obvious to those who own cats that are the repeated victims of cat bite injuries. Sometimes injuries are mistakenly attributed to foxes or other wildlife, but this is much less common. Inter-cat aggression in the neighbourhood is also an important underlying factor in [[Housesoiling - Cat|house-soiling]] and [[Indoor Marking - Cat|spraying problems]], as well as [[Feline Aggression Towards Other Cats in the Same Household|inter-cat aggression within the household]]. This is because the activities of local despots, or a very high feline population density may cause cats to stay indoors, where they then conflict with each other.
