i bet the cats don't care what time they are fed as long as they get fed. Try feeding them in the morning and see what happens. I bet they will adjust.

My raccoon story: i use to leave my atrium door open during the spring. there is a small palm tree in the atrium that reaches the roof. For about 2 months I could not figure out why my cats were going through a bag of cat food per week when it would usually last them almost 1 month. Then I noticed there water was always dirtywith their food. I came home late one night and found a huge coon snacking away on my cats food in my living room. the cats did not care they just went about their business, it was like he was part of the family. I got him out of the house wihout incident -he ran up the palm tree onto the roof-from then on I kept the door closed.

The wildlife rehaber that takes my possums and my techs coons (I have a tech that raises orphaned raccoons) feeds them all at the same time every night (including his cats). They all apparently eat side by side with no problems.
