Answer

dog crate Cate,

The probably had your new house staked as 'his' territory before you moved in and he is defending it against your cat.

I would get a large dog crate. They are great for putting a cat outside safely. I got mine at Petco. I will attach a picture of it. You can let the cat out of it to explore while you are outside.

Use the garden hose on the bully cat to make him be afraid to come into your yard. That doesn't always help a determined cat though. If it is a tomcat, and you have extra funds, try to catch him and get him neutered since his owners probably hasn't bothered to.

I am attaching a link to an article you find interesting on bully cats in the neighborhood:
