I have been living at my current house now for about 8 years. I live next to a large university so I get tons of strays. I have 3 current ones I feed who have been TNR'd before they adopted my house. Two of them are tabbies who I am guessing are brothers or at least look very similar and tend to travel together and the other is a gray and white. For the most part they get along. The friendliest of the tabbies likes to occasionally go after the gray and white one but nothing ever serious. I have 3-4 bowls with dry food which I fill twice a day and 1-2 bowls of water which I change twice a day.
I have a couple of other strays that stop down. My neighbor several houses down also feeds so I think I get some of hers when her bowls are empty. My cats have no issues with these that I have seen. I have never heard any cat fights when the other cats visit. I can only guess it is because there is plenty of food.
Today I saw a new stray. A young cat who was small so probably no more than a few months who keeps coming close to feed. The problem I am having is all the sudden one of the tabbies keeps going after this new cat. I don't know why since this never happens with the other strays. It is just frustrating because I know I will never even be able to get close if this happens. I am also afraid they are going to get hit since the cat chases the other cat for a good distance and usually across the street.
Any suggestions?
