Whenever our door is open, other neighborhood cats come into our house and steal my cats food ! But even if my cat see’s the other cat eating its food it just sits there and watches, doesn’t even try to stop it. How do i stop these cats coming in?!
They eat because they have not been able to find food for the day and are very hungry. AND because you left your door open (not a good idea given the burgleries and break ins now-a-days).
Just do a feeding station next to the side door by the steps. We’ve had one for over 10 years for the outdoor strays (we do TNR), they all know there’s food there in the bowl if they can’t get anything that day. AND that there’s fresh water too, in a heated dog water dish in winter.
We go through an 18 lb bag of dry cat food every 6-8 weeks, that breaks down to about $1.25 a week, which is not expensive. When raccoons show up we go to a daylight only feeding time, all the cats adjust.
