My stray friend has apparently developed some sort of bond with another cat, since the other cat has been following her to my doorstep in the last few days. The first time I saw the other stray, I tried to feed both of them, but the other stray hissed at the first cat and almost swatted at her to get the food for himself.
I put down some food for my friend, walked a short distance, and put down food for the other one. They both ate without fighting, but I was still a bit worried about inadvertently causing a fight by feeding them together.
Does anyone here have any tips for this situation? I don't know whether I should keep feeding the second stray, but I would really feel bad if a cat came to my doorstep, especially in winter, and I let it walk away without giving it any food or water. So I would ideally feed both but somehow ensure they wouldn't fight.
