How do you feed these guys while you are gone? They are in with a few small Peacocks (same size as my PIMs). I put a few feeders in the tank and all ate well yesterday, but I will not be there until Friday. Will they be ok for the week?

What size are they?
I feed my big Pim's every other day if they are lucky... overfeeding them just speeds up their monstrous growth rate and encourages obesity in a fish that really needs to be active to be healthy.
That said, your catfish should be fine unless they are very small.

They are about 4". I have been feeding a single Massivore tab to them each day. Am I over or under feeding? Do you think at this size they will be ok for the week?
That's a fine feeding regiment for a 4" catfish. I personally would start slowing it down when they get to around 10".
Your catfish should be fine while you are gone. They will forage and scavenge and whatnot for a few days. No real harm in that.
