Looking for suggestions on how to keep my cat from eating the neighbor cats' food.

I have cats and so does my nextdoor neighbor.
My cat likes to visit her house and eat her cats' food.
He gets ample food here, and treats.
My cats go in and out when I open a door for them. Hers have a cat door.
I asked if she'd thought about getting the kind of cat door that only lets cats through if they have a special collar. She says she used to have one but the mechanism doesn't work any more and she's not sure how feasible a new cat door would be.
Also suggested she close down the cat door and just let her cats in and out like I do. She's not keen on that idea because she's out most of the day. (I am too but I let that slide because she is a really nice lady and a great neighbor.)
So if my fellow cat/dog havers have any tips, please let me know.
Yes, I am aware that keeping the cats indoors all the time or restricting them to a "catio" would be the most ethical option, but a short-term option would be appreciated.
