I also have this persion cat which is a female, but nuetured. when ever I feed them, the male cat, always saves some of it's food and when the female cat moves away from it's food for a second, he comes in and eats her food, which is not fair when he has his own food, he then finishes her food and then goes back to his food.

also as a side note, the male cat is always trying to fight with the female cat, but then at times they just lay next to each other.

It sounds like he is still trying to recover from being a street cat. Cats that used to live on the street sometimes have food issues. They aren't used to having food around and get neurotic if the bowl if half empty. The best way to fix this is to always have food available, if that is an option. At first they may eat a lot, but once they realize that there will always be food there they relax and eat normally.
