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.

Fat, no hes just big boned. And putting on a little winter blubber. Just wait until you get the heating on - he'll be back to pressing his face up to the window.

And this morning on NDN's car.
I may be wrong - but I think that TC is getting fat Shock.

TC has been a bit quiet recently (still stares through the French doors though).
Saw him yesterday in his native habitat - I.e. actually in NDN's house.

I am a big TC fan but really all the disturbing staring from different places is all a bit Hammer Horror for me

He’s on the car
The boat
Suddenly on the kitchen worktop
In the bed

Cue blood curdling music

I'm thinking Duran Duran on the yacht in the video for Rio....

YetAnotherSpartacus · 12/09/2019 14:38

I was drawn to the 80s clip of Key Largo.

Weezol · 12/09/2019 14:21

I imagine TC as a bold privateer rum runner a la Poldark. If only he had a loving village to return to.

Grambler · 12/09/2019 11:59

Thug Cat is out on the boat somewhere, I'm telling you the house was just phase 1.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 12/09/2019 11:47

He's been rather quiet lately ...

TellItLikeItReallyIs · 04/09/2019 11:57

He seems very manly to me. I'm suprised he's been neutered. He has a masculine quality to his antics. I think we'd want him in the trenches with us.

MrMeSeeks · 03/09/2019 23:58

He’s one handsome chal

Weezol · 03/09/2019 23:52

That picture at 1200. Look at him, I mean look at how neatly his paws are arranged, the perfectly groomed whiskers. And oh, the face. That beautiful face!

You'd have to have a heart of granite...

TellItLikeItReallyIs · 03/09/2019 16:37

TC is so gorgeous. I am in his cult. I will bow to his every whim.

Mia184 · 03/09/2019 14:13

It appears that TC is now trying to win Grumpy over Grin

YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/09/2019 13:00

Por baby. His spirit is broken. He is a wreck of his former self and his confidence in his lovability destroyed. All because meanie pants neighbours won’t invite him in.

Grambler · 03/09/2019 12:16

How can you not take him out on the boat- look at that face Grin I understand not in the house but surely the boat is worth a try?

Bookworm4 · 03/09/2019 12:14

He’s sitting by the door as he expects you to be trained by now to say ‘in you come lovely boy’

He's back on the boat now.

TC is actually starting to behave Shock.
Had the back doors open yesterday and spotted him just sitting by the open door, not making an attempt to break and enter.

Yes I can confirm it was Basil in the picture in conference with TC.
UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername - not sure how to respond to a request for more pictures of NDN Grin

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 02/09/2019 19:47

Is that NDN in the boat? Because further forearm pictures would not be unacceptable.

TellItLikeItReallyIs · 02/09/2019 19:41

That picture of TC and the black cat (Basil?) is awesome. It looks like the start of some kind of Felinexit negotiations where TC is playing it very cool.

Weezol · 31/08/2019 09:02

I picture Sybil sat at the prow, completely dignified like those carved figureheads on ye olde sailing ships a la Dhow Cat:
