I'm brand new, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. I don't know about your blue cat, but here is what I've observed with my bluegill. I was told to give them a few days to acclimate to their surroundings before feeding and then throw out a small amount each day at the same place and same time.
I followed this advice and within a few days, my BG started to show up and eat. So far, I haven't noticed any of my channel cat eating. It doesn't mean they aren't there eating, I just don't see too well, so it's hard for me to say if they are there. My BG on the other hand darn near jump in my lap to feed. No matter what time of day I walk down there, they be hungry.
I'd say start with a handful of feed and feed at same place and same time. Adjust amount of feed as necessary. Today, it's looks like I will be giving them 5 cups. 2 this morning, 1 just now and 2 this evening.
Just keep at it. Patience is key. I know it's hard to wait, at least it is for me.
Your pvc ring is a good idea, I had to make one out of a pool noodle for a few days, but now they eat it as fast as I can chunk.
