Thank you so much. I will be passing on this very wise advice. I have currently recommened that the cat stay indoors for the next 10days or so anyhow, as he has a nasty wound on his tail and a buster collar.

Let see how it goes.

Thanks again.

Keep the cats indoors for a week. Collect all of the litter used and sprinkle the used litter around the perimeter of their property. Effectively 'marking' the territory with out confrontation. Unfortunately cats are very territorial and this is not theirs yet! They have to earn it. I always recommend to clients that new cats should be kept in for 6 wks when moving house before letting them out. During this time I recommend the litter marking this helps the old cats from the neighborhood get to know the new cats from afar and at the same time let the new cats see and greet from inside where they feel safe instead of creeping round and getting ambushed by unknowns. I would also recommend they get some Zylkene for him for the time he's inside and also some Feliway diffusers for the new house. Be sure they have 3 litter trays for two cats and that they are in low traffic areas. Hope this helps.
