The Penny Family Update

OK, I've explained here before:

I started out feeding one stray cat back in July. I named him "Penny."
Shortly after, I spotted THREE cats lying around my patio.
And then after that, a total of FOUR cats were showing up:

Papa Penny (white with tiger-striped face and tail, ear partially sliced off; big, solid cat with flies buzzing around him; he likes to show up in the morning, when I've never put food out; he also shows up in the rain; not so afraid of people; he's either very old or retarded, because he never can focus on me when I open my back door to feed him).

Penny and Henny Penny (apparently siblings; Penny has a longer, smoother tail and Henny Penny has a short, bushier tail and a scar on his nose; both are afraid of people/me).

L'il Penny (smooth, young-looking cat, calm like Papa Penny --- these two will sit in front of my sliding-glass door and look at me, then not go very far when I come out with food. Whereas Penny and Henny Penny RUN when they see me).

I've never seen any of them fight over the food. Though the four of them all seem to know that the food will be put out around 6pm.

Tonight was interesting:  Papa Penny showed up first, and helped himself to the dish of food. While he was doing so, Penny and Henny Penny showed up... but didn't initially approach my small yard. They both sat at a distance. Finally Papa Penny quit eating...there was still food left in the dish, but he parked himself a foot away and just sat there. Penny and Henny both sat at a distance outside my yard. Finally, Henny jumped over the low fence and sat in the yard, but didn't approach the food. While Papa was sitting there (well-fed), and Henny was sitting there (hungry), Penny snuck around the edges and started eating the left-overs from the food dish. Papa didn't do anything aggressive, just kept sitting there.

Finally, Papa moved on. And Penny and Henny Penny were both now sitting across from my yard staring at the food dish... Normally, I just put out a certain amount of food, and whoever gets it, gets it. But since I'd witnessed all of earlier drama, I felt bad and went back outside and poured more food... Specifically for Penny and Henny Penny.

But then Papa Penny showed up again and chased the others off and started eating again!
