hello all

I couldn't find any FAQ's so I hope this is not repeating old stuff but I
need advice.

Due to where I live, next to some abandoned ground and green space in an
inner city area, I seem to have a steady stream of strays and feral cats
come by. As I had an elderly cat who couldn't use a catflap but rather a
hole in the door,  it was pretty much open house at mine in terms of food.
My old cat has died and two of the more regular strays have set up home to
some extent!

They demand so much food and I was happy to supply it but am now worrying
that I may overfeed them. I heard that strays can lose the mechanism to
control their food intake and as I have a problem in that direction myself,
I need advice. They both now seem healthy well built toms [ unneutered but I
can't handle them to to bring them to a vet - they are not that tame].
So - how much food, cans or pouches should they need in a day?
One particularly keeps up a barrage of begging all day. My previous cats
just ate what was needed , an awful lot less than this!

any advice much appreciated

regards
