So, we had a large # of feral cats in our backyard about 2 years ago. We captured and delivered to a shelter all but 3 girls. We had the 3 girls neutered, and they're now largely left to their own devices, and fed 2x a day.
My understanding was that as they're territorial and neutered, unable to reproduce, we'd basically have a stable group of just those 3 cats. It's been nearly 2 years now, and there's a small cat, and a rather large male for a total of 5 now. The male fears me, but eats their food if it doesn't see me. And the small cat which appeared out of nowhere just a month ago is super friendly and doesn't fear me at all. In fact, it just sleeps around the house all-day.
Honestly, I do have affection for them, but I wasn't exactly planning on having pets per se, I'm just the guy who shows up for 3-5 minutes each day and feeds them. I wasn't planning on these extra cats, and am rather anxious that more will show up.
I do feed these fat bastards (Original 3 Cats) quite a bit, so I'm guessing they're not all that territorial anymore since they have an excess of food. Would just cutting back on the food help? Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
