Scared cat?

Okay, my cat is propbably the most scardest cat in the world! He is scared of plants when they move from the wind. A week ago at night when my cat was in the garage alone he and I heard a cat fight that was right by the closed garage door. Since then he has been scared of being the garage. I was giving him a walk and he tries to stall time so he won't have to walk in the garage! I have to drag him to the garage now! How do I help my cat overcome his fears? This is too much. My cat is very cautious and is an American Shorthair. Please help!

Update:

Ooh yes and he is neutered and does not like to be in cat fights. He is an outside cat and has a lot of cat friends! Putting my cat inside is not an option. Thanx!

Update 2:

I want to know what to do with my cat. I personally think it is best that my cat is outdoors because he likes it. My cat would not stand being inside.

    It's wrong to force a cat to do anything. It will not solve the problem as you are seeing. I don't know what to tell you. I refuse to let my cats be outdoors at all. There are just too many dangers. I don't want to deal with the vet bills. I love them too much. They have plenty of stuff to keep them entertained.

    Just let him know there isn't anything scary about the garage.
