Next door's -thug- cat

[Grumpyoldpersonwithcats]

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.

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

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

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

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 guilty.

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!

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

Another Brick In The Wall

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

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.

My ! What big teeth !

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

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

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

That's a war face right there.

Compare and contrast .

What a sweet boy

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.

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

TC knows he looks good on the dancefloor.

That belly looks seductively soft ...

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

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 .

Was it Sybil and TC having a lovers' tiff?

And why not photo? :(

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

Any TC updates, OP? 🐈

Another fan awaiting an update!

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...
