How can i get other cats to stop eating my cat’s food?

My cat lives on my front porch and the cat from across the street always comes to eat my cats food. i always shoo it away but it keep coming back. how can i get that stupid cat away from my cats food( THAT I PAY FOR) ?
Then my cat ends up being starved and crying for food at 6 in the morning!

In what ways are cats more intelligent then dogs?

My cat can open doors by turning the key with his claws. He howls to warn us that a stranger is at the door. He plays ball with me throwing the ball to me so I can throw it back to him. He sits and begs for food.
So, what’s the difference?

Why does my cat kill slow worms and bring them back to my house?

I have been worried about my cat Lavender because around every summer she brings back, either head less, bitten or slightly alive slow worms. I don’t know wether it’s her own instincts or her survival skills. She does not eat them and we feed my 3 cats twice a day. I don’t know wether any other cats do this or in a similar way but one of my cats, Tinkerbell doesn’t. My cat, Lavender and my second cat, Bubbles are related, the only thing Bubbles brings back is twigs, leaves and other types of nature but NEVER any type of animal. My family and me think she has a mind of a dog. Tinkerbell, the non-related cat is very lazy and old. The only thing she will occasionally ever eat is spiders and fly’s around the house. Is this a relative problem or do I need to see someone about my cat?

how do i befriend a stray cat that keeps coming around for food?

it is obviously homeless and needs a good going over by a vet. i feed it but it won’t let me come too close to it. i am gradually earning its trust but i am concerned it will take longer than its health can hold out for.

I’ve got another cat food question?

So, I’ve been doing some research in the cat food area and I’d like to know whether the Wellness Complete Health Chicken or the Merrick Before Grain Chicken is a better dry food?

Here’s their information:

Both foods contain:

Crude Fat (Not Less Than) 18.0%

So, is the Before Grain a better food because it’s not made with grains? I’d like to know what your opinion is and if you could, explain why.

Now, I feed my cats dry in the morning and wet in the evening. Please, again, don’t lecture me on why wet is better.
