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.

If I flick the cursor between the two pictures I can make TC look like he's dancing (easily amused , me)

Those teeth marks look sore Shock , but hmmmm bite with no claw marks ?

I'm calling Vampire !

Even TC's legal counsel finds it hard to maintain a defence at times. Of course, those pictures might be doctored and the fang marks might just match Sybil's teeth ...

He then jumped on the outside table but kept one paw ready to attack at all times Grin

Had to laugh at all of TC's body doubles!.

So the Thug appeared at midnight last night at the door and was back this morning. So I went outside & gave him a stroke - clearly not in the mood this morning.

@AllTheProsecco erm you have the double of my boy.

AllTheProsecco · 12/11/2019 15:37

Just read this thread for the first time. Was getting increasingly nervous that TC was our cat until I saw the NDN pics.

Here is TC's twin....

I see he’s got his winter coat on. So fluffy 🤗

Bit drastic putting bars up to keep your cat out .............................................

runs away Grin

Just spotted him outside the patio doors again. At least this time he's behind bars Grin.

I think TC would rather live in a house of cats than a house of dogs. He looks mournful. This campaign of attrition looks set to continue.....

sableandI · 08/11/2019 15:48

Love this thread. Tc is hilarious and so persistent

7Worfs · 08/11/2019 09:25

Best Little Friend 😂

YetAnotherSpartacus · 08/11/2019 09:04

Of course Grumpy should feel guilty! And TC is a Best Little Friend, not Bitely Little Fecker. Poor maligned sweetie.

I love how , even though TC has his own house and his own owners , who obviously care for him, feed him ( a bit too much maybe) and had him neutered and (hopefully) chipped ......................... grumpy is made to feel the guilt of not enveloping the Bitey Little Fecker into the fold .

Small matter of him being a Bitey Little Fecker , someone elses cat and Sybil detesting TC . (And female cats Rule the House )

He looks sad and friendless. Poor TC :(

WaningGibbous · 07/11/2019 19:24

He doesn't look very happy with you. No eye contact but very clearly making a point.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/11/2019 15:59

He wants you to think he's been hiding because of the fireworks (what with being a sensitive little flower ) but he's probably been grounded by NDN and only just been given Day Release .

My two cats chase NDN cat from their garden and I am guilty of silently cheering them " That's my boy , you show him"

NDN cat has been used to strolling through (and using as a toilet) but No More . My two have taken the baton and are well protective of their little patch of Engand .
Though I do accept (and warn them) if they go off trespassing* , then they do it at their own risk !

  • I know , cats cannot trespass what with them being above the Law .
7Worfs · 07/11/2019 15:07

That look... I would’ve cracked and let him in

AnneKipanki · 07/11/2019 14:36

That is a look of intent .

Having not seen TC around for a few days I just looked out of the patio doors and got the strangest feeling of deja vu.

Another TC pic (provided by NDN) for your delight and delectation.

Curiously I was round at NDN's earlier and Lennie was sitting very happily in their front drive as if he owned the place.

Oh, I completely forgot I posted that the other night! I blame jet lag and strong cocktails 😂

Maltese TC was awesome, he patrolled the terrace looking fabulous then savaged women and children who had the temerity to stroke him Shock

WaningGibbous · 01/11/2019 13:27

I didn't think TC was the friend making type Grin

Worryingly the report of the missing Bengal above is not too far from me.
I'll report back if TC brings a friend round.

Nonstop - enjoy your holiday - love your Maltese TC Grin
