May I give you another tip?
Cats do not like it when you stare at them. They consider that a
hostile action.
They do respond positively to a slow blink. I bet you are watching Pudge too much, esp at the food area, and making her nervous. Talk in a gentle voice to her, and give her the slow blink when you first look in her direction. It will diffuse her worry about hostility and possibly relax the situation.

In our house, Maya is very sensitive to staring. Weezie much less so. So I always to the slow blink with Maya, more often than with Weezie. Maya was feral born, and Weezie house born.
So I think Weezie was far more used to people, and Maya remains skittish still even at 4 yrs old, now.
