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.

The Met police have lost their 5 year old Bengal. He looks totally unimpressed in that photo. Hope he turns up soon and isn't just another victim of the Bengal 5 year itch.

I only came to MN a couple of days ago and stumbled upon this thread. The story of TC and his shenanigans is epic. His determined efforts to leave his canine household and establish himself in the feline idyll next door has been told with much humour and I suspect a great deal of love for TC. Does he know about his fan club on this forum? Looking forward to more pictures of this superb cat!

Erm. I'm abroad and pissed. I've found a Maltese TC. Fat tabby fucker who attacks everyone Shock

And Spartacus 'mitigating circumstances'? What are you suggesting

Well you were rather holding your hand like prey - did you want a good mauling?

PotterHead1985 · 29/10/2019 01:51

Oh my. I have just found and read this whole thread and I am in love and invested in the Grumpy family/NDN/TC story. Moar updates.

Also did it ever make it to classics?

FranneKipankinstein · 28/10/2019 13:30

He was licking his lips , yummy 😋 looking hand !

Did you rub tuna all over your arm? Call him fat?

This was him just prior to jumping onto the barbeque. He still wanders round looking as if he owns the place.

And Spartacus 'mitigating circumstances'? What are you suggesting? Grin

Those live update photos as the attack progressed, and his face - priceless Grin

WaningGibbous · 28/10/2019 12:03

You must have asked for it. Even if you didn't realise it. Either that or he's just exceptionally hungry. Certainly not very repentant about it.

Did you need stitches?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 28/10/2019 11:58

Oh dear. Were there mitigating circumstances perchance?

Spartacus
Our ideas of kissing are clearly at variance with each other Grin.
Actually sinking his bloody teeth in my hand.

He's kissing you! How sweet :)

Sorry for the lack of updates.
TC has been around but does seem to have (temporarily at least) stopped his breaking and entering attempts.
He was sitting on the barbeque this morning so I went to say hello...

Another fan awaiting an update!

Any TC updates, OP? 🐈

Supersimkin2 · 15/10/2019 10:53

I'm only here to sneak a peek at that delicious tummy.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 15/10/2019 10:35

Was it Sybil and TC having a lovers' tiff?

And why not photo? :(

A couple of updates from today.
This morning I was in NDN's house and TC came to the door to come in. I got up to let him in and he looked so confused seeing me, as soon as I opened the door he ran off.

This evening there was a cat fight going on outside so I opened the door for Sybs to run in, closely followed by TC. I managed to cut TC off almost immediately - but I do wonder if he was making up for being so daft this morning Grin.

Wonder if he'd pose like that if he's let into @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats's house?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 09/10/2019 09:28

That belly looks seductively soft ...

Supersimkin2 · 09/10/2019 08:50

TC knows he looks good on the dancefloor.

Mia184 · 08/10/2019 13:18

What a cutie! Are NDN allowed to give him belly rubs? It looks quite tempting...

7Worfs · 07/10/2019 19:35

What a sweet boy Wink

I used to live next door to a Bengal.
On the second day of us moving in I found him lying on our bed. That’s how he entered our lives and claimed our flat as second home.
