Next door's -thug- cat

Has started coming in our house and stealing cat food.
Our cats dislike him. (understatement...)
Once he's in it's a problem removing him because he growls, hisses and then attacks us (launches at our legs etc).
He spends an inordinate amount of time in our garden or staring in through the French windows. Any suggestion how to gently discourage him? I have no intention of having outside doors shut for the whole summer.
Enclosed a picture of him sitting on our outside table.

He certainly looks dressed for a Baltic winter! But he looks so mournful. TC obviously thinks it’s cat nirvana in there. The war of attrition goes on....

He's beginning to look like Iorek Bjornsen, the armoured bear from The Northern Lights!

It's just extra padding so that he can carry on his winter campaign.

AllYouGoodGoodPeople · 03/12/2019 09:55

No wonder he's plotting to kill you if you're calling him fat. He's just carrying some extra winter fur.

My Bengal used to chunk up every winter and lose it in the summer.

I may have mentioned this before but I definitely believe that TC is becoming a bit of a porker Shock.
This was him outside the door this morning

TC!!! I don't remember Harry Worth, but after googling him I do remember his ventriloquist act.

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/11/2019 21:12

He probably misses you after spending so much time at yours this year.

TC is sitting outside the door (with a very grumpy Sybil on DW's lap staring at him). I was amused by his Harry Worth impression oh God that's showing my age

TC has some very impressive ninja moves there. He looks quite tragic pawing window to get in....

Nonstopbuttmachine · 26/11/2019 19:52

I love TC's latest move. Crouching tiger, hidden thug cat 🙀

YetAnotherSpartacus · 26/11/2019 10:27

TC is simultaneously trying to grow 4 feet and develop opposable thumbs :)

AllYouGoodGoodPeople · 25/11/2019 16:05

Basil is very nonchalant when there's a pane of glass between him and TC.

AnneKipanki · 25/11/2019 16:01

I think he did too !

He still kept his beady eye on Basil.
If you move through the photos fast it is like an action replay .

And two more of a spectacular twist and roll movement (I think he fell over Grin)

Just called into the living room to witness TC's latest antics. Clearly he thinks we should let him in. Clearly Basil has other ideas.

You upset tiny TC. Shame on you Grumpy. Grin

7Worfs · 16/11/2019 11:38

Have we seen TC and the other two at the same time and same place? How do we know he’s not playing you all 🤔

MrMeSeeks · 16/11/2019 11:03

Love this.
Atleast you laugh about it. I’d love thugcat! I’d win him round ( or wear him down) one way or the other Grin

YetAnotherSpartacus · 16/11/2019 11:00

Yes, but it is noted that she is definitely keeping her mouth closed and not showing those teeth :)

70isaLimit My jumper protected me from the claws - but his teeth went straight through.

Spartacus Sybil has expressed her displeasure that TC's legal council is trying to frame her Grin
