Feeding stray cats

I don't own any pets but I have four stray cats that come to my house on a daily basis every morning because I put cat food and water out for them. I have done this for several months now so it has gotten to the point where they sit on the porch waiting to be fed. Anyhow, lately I have been having trouble with them fighting right on my porch. They used to share the food but now they fight over it. I don't like to see them fighting but I won't get in the middle for fear of getting clawed at. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this?
Also, one of the cats (yellow fur) has little black spots, almost like a human has in blackheads but you could see them on the fur and when I have pet on her she has bumps on her head and neck. Does anyone know what that could be? I was thinking about getting a cage and taking her to the vet but also wonder if I would be creating problems if she in fact does belong to someone but I have to say that if she does, shame on the owner because she might be in serious need of care. Please advise if you have suggestions. Thanks much. Lucy

Thanks again for the reply. 16 cats? Do they all have names? Are they all yours or are some strays included in the count? That is wonderful! I have been away from home (CA) for 7 years now. I divorced in June so that is why I have stayed this long. There aren't many jobs in CA and frankly, I love my family to pieces but there is always so much drama there. I hear when major things happen but not the day to day problems and that is fine with me. I used to be a nervous wreck living at home because my brothers can be troublesome, even as they are from ages 27-40 (3 brothers) I may still go back though because I have trouble in the winter with snow and ice. I want to be able to find a good job first and an apartment so I don't become a burden to my mother. Thanks again for the response. I have a Petco 3 miles from here so I will take a look at the igloos there; I love the tunnel idea. Take good care and you too enjoy your weekend. Lucy
Hi Lucy.
LOL I bet it's something.
Have small amount of woods behind house, a hayfield with small pond on other side. The animals are one major reason why I can't easily move. But thats my choice. donna
