To expect my neighbour to stop feeding my cat?

The situation is trivial but I'm losing patience really.

We have had our puss for over 10 years, since he was a kitten. We brought him and another cat back from Cyprus where we used to live for a while. We have lived on the same street now for 8 years to and never had a problem.

A middle aged couple 6 doors down has started letting my cat in to their house, feeding him, keeping him in overnight and not putting him out. They have bought him a bed, put a new collar on him. We have asked them to stop letting him in but they keep doing it.

They smoke in the house so we know when he's been round there coz he stinks. Last night the lady brought him to us (we thought he was in the house somewhere) and she had sprayed him with perfume!!

How can I stop them letting him in to their house and feeding him?

Tried keeping him in but he gets sad, and I think that's mean anyway. I'm assuming he's going to the house for the peace and quiet he doesn't get here, but I begrudge them keeping him in and feeding him.

Anyone had this before?

This happened to me when i lost my first cat. The sister to the cat that i lost started to get fed by nearly the whole neighbourhood. After that I got a few more cats. Each of them disappearing. This went on for 5 years. I now have 5 cats out of 12 cats with me. The rest has disappeared except for 2 cats that i have seen with new collars and groomed in a different way. Today I found out that my close neighbour trapped one of my pregnant cats have made kittens by her. I will continue to fight and get my new kittens back.

My cat got stolen when I was younger by a couple who lived across the road, my poor mum spoke to them nicely, tried the RSPCA and there was nothing they could do! In the end we just had to accept it, was actually pretty horrible as a child lol. They then had the cheek to come and ask us to pay for the vets bills about 3 years down the line when he needed injections for diabetes! Worst part is its not even like they didn't have the money themselves.
