There are at least 2 cats coming through the cat flap and eating their food. I have three cats and none of them try to stop them, one of my cats even sleeps close to the food on a chair and does nothing.
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.
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.
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.
Cats are very generous by nature.They have told their hungry friends-Hey the chows at my house!!!.You may have to take out the kitty door if “MORE” friends show up.
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.
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.
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!
They’re fascinated, well-fed, and realize the ones coming in need food.
Cats love to watch things- they are natural peepers- and it
seems that both sets of cats have met, and get along well. The next natural step is for you to realize you have a couple more cats. Chances are the most you’ll see of them for awhile is when they stop to glare at you before they run out the cat door- sounds like you have a cat ‘problem’ in your neighborhood. Some of them may even have a home, just aren’t getting what they need, or are shut out of thier home
for long periods of time.
My own solution to this sort of thing is to ‘fix’ and fully vaccinate the ones coming in (I use a have-a-heart trap- you can rent them from pet stores) so that my own cats are kept safe and I don’t have to worry about the whole kitten mess.
It’s pro-active but I like clean and healthy animals, and breeding animals are putting thier nutrition and energy into mating and giving birth, and are therefore run-down and disease & illness prone.
In 4 years I ‘fixed’ over 40 cats, none mine. I have never asked a neighbor’s ‘permission’- although at least a couple of them had to have had ‘owners’.
Of course, I fed them too.
Some people love kittens, but are completely indifferent to,
or have no understanding of, adult cats.

Because your cat doesn’t have the courage to chase them out! But seriously, they might just be friends.
Their trying to help out their fellow feline brotha’s and sista’s.
Don’t hate, lock the Gate!!

Perhaps your cat is scared of the other cats that come and steal her food!
your cats are very generous lucky you!
I would not want strays in the house. I would not let them eat the food. Relocate the feeding area. Keep your cats safe and healthy.
lucky i wish my cats did dat
They like shareing.
