Purrs for a swift recovery. Good TED you've got which is encouraging.

My Kensey used to fight other hunterkiller cats who had overlapping
territory on a regular basis: a quarterly TED visit for repairs was the
norm.
Unfortunately I have no recipe for avoidance of this, short of the naughty
catnapping and dumping fifty-plus miles away of the offender - and I know
you wouldn't countenance that.

You are right, I wouldn't - although I know of racing pigeon fanciers that
will do this with a cat who continually enters their loft and kills the
pigeons.
My neighbours have two identical black cats. One is quite retiring and will
run away if it is seen and the other is an "in yer face" cat. I have heard
them calling the cats in, one is called Marley and the other Molly.
So it isn't easy to know which one *is* The Enemy.

We had a birdwatcher try to do that with our Attila when I was a kid.
Then he wanted to sue us for what Attila did to him when he tried to
pick him up. His lawyer advised him against it. Letting a cat run
loose, even if he killed birds, was quite uncontroversial and normal
in Alabama in the Fifties.

I would think it was Marley causing your problem, if Molly's name is
true to gender. If Boyfie isn't starting trouble, and we know he
isn't, it would be an extremely rare female who would attack him.
