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.

That's a war face right there.

I love the way his little nose is all scrunched up and wrinkled in that photo Grin

Probably tell Sybil to budge up then think ooh Mardy when she stomps off.

Those paws ❤️ What do you think he will do in winter @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats?

TC is back to normal. Sitting outside staring in - I got a photo mid-yawn. Also love the way he's standing on his own tail.

The ears are very much perked. He's just pretending to ignore you.

It's like a kid sulking and they want you to to know they are upset...

He is lined up perfectly in front of your door

CassandraCross · 05/10/2019 17:39

He's found out that you have disrespected him on this thread by calling him useless and as Grambler says he knows you know he is ignoring you, you will feel shamed and guiltyGrin.

On another note I love how the next door neighbour 'owner' of TC and your wife are now taking and submitting photos for his eager fan base on here!

Grambler · 05/10/2019 17:00

Yeah but he's right in front of the window just so you know he's ignoring you.

Anyone think TC may be offended? He's been sitting outside studiously ignoring us for at least 10 minutes now.

There’s nothing on that horse a fuzz away couldn’t fix.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/10/2019 10:02

TC is a lover not a fighter. :)

And if the cat in the story 'utterly destroyed the toy horse' why the horse looking remarkably pristine in the after photos?

Grambler · 01/10/2019 09:52

He's been too busy hanging around yours to keep an eye on his own house.

It's true. TC is officially useless.

NDN has discovered evidence of mice in the pantry (dry food bags nibbled open, droppings etc). He asked if he could borrow our kittens.

Now if only NDN had a proper cat Grin

He looks like he's waiting to be guillotined in that last picture

Quick, someone photoshop Sybil in there with an axe Grin

AnneKipanki · 27/09/2019 22:22

My TC . My pin up !!!!

Oh Cassandra Shock

I'm v concerned now that it's getting colder and TC has his fancy tower, we won't see so much of him? 😿

YetAnotherSpartacus · 27/09/2019 09:23

Oh TC! What a ridiculous boy! And such a poser - even in his sleep.

Don't worry - TC is still around here most of the time. I just happened upon him in NDN's house. (I stroked him until he bit me - it didn't take him long Grin).

DW took this photo today of him on one of our chairs - TC has clearly been overdoing it to fall asleep in such a daft position.

DW has expressed some concern that she is now taking photos of him as well.

Oh, there he is! I missed him.
He is probably friendlier at home because they feed him. Grin
