As long as a cat feels safe, most will get their fill in 5 mins to make it thru to the next available meal.
Varmints never get their fill.
Call the cat, with a spray bottle of soapy water in hand for the eyes of the uninvited.
Good advice. Depends upon the personality of the cat but if they're actually hungry then they'll gulp down food as fast as possible.
Porch kitty might have a route of friendly porches, if he's nibbling and walking away. He's probably not in danger of starving even if the allotment is cut back.
Yes. Showing up when you're there may be porch kitty's way of reinforcing YOUR behavior, so that you will keep this particular feeding station regularly supplied.
