Cardinals will go to a feeder but they also like (maybe prefer) to eat off the ground. You can try throwing sunflower or safflower seed out when the snow is packed down or on top of ice if we have that. It makes it easy for them to see. I don't know if they still carry it but Dollar General used to have bags of bird seed that had cracked corn in it and the cardinals will eat that too.
I used to buy corn, but the rodents increased with it. You get a little different mix of birds with corn. I think I may have rodents underground near the bird feeder now because the cat stares at the ground. I have lots of voles that eat bulbs and the cats rarely catch them. With corn I had rats but I bought a 50 pound bag so maybe it was too much corn. The cats murdered the little chipmunk that came to eat it.
