cats aren’t greedy like dogs. If they have had enough to eat they stop, they don’t mind if somebody else eats what they don’t want. Also cats will defer to a cat that they feel is dominant to them.

As long as your cats are getting enough to eat, they don’t care. My cats eat out of each other’s bowls all the time, and the only time there’s a problem is when they’re both hungry and the bowls are empty.

the stray cats must be more assertive in your area than your cats so they are being submissive and letting them eat. for a few days feed your cats as normal and as soon as they leave the food then put the bowls up until they come back. hopefully that will stop the strays from their free dinners!

Your cats are just hospitable. This has happened to me many times over the years. Eventually the little visitors move in, even if they belong elsewhere, although mine have usually been strays. I’ve never had a problem with it, I can’t see a cat hungry.

Because your cat doesn’t have the courage to chase them out! But seriously, they might just be friends.

You have to understand that cats are creatures that dont really care much so they see these other cats and are like so hommie whats up? These cats could be friends so they let them eat the food, I think that your cats are being very nice.

My cat used to do that a lot. It was because my other cat was a lot more aggressive. Maybe your cat’s just scared. Change the dining place of your cats.

They are SHARING their fruitful bounty!!! Also the other cats have become friends of theirs since they allow them in their territory. I hope their vaccinations are up to snuff if they are coming in contact with outdoor cats.
