![]() This added work annoyed me, because while I love my cats, I have a business to run and family to take care of and I can’t tie myself down to feeding one of two cats 8 tiny portions of food every day when she cries for more. If you put out twice as much food for them, they will cheerfully eat it all right away… then probably vomit it back up, or gain undesirable weight. Both were shelter cats, and they do not self-regulate their food portions. This annoyed Olaf, who didn’t understand why Ethel got so much food all the time when he only got fed twice a day. I started feeding Ethel small portions on demand to encourage her to gain weight. So if he doesn’t have to eat it, I don’t want to feed it to him. More expensive than raw food, than boutique cat foods like Orijen and Acana, or Wellness. Not only is the hypoallergenic food not appropriate for him, but it is also one of the most – if not the most – expensive cat food there is. Meanwhile, Olaf, a robust 8-year old cat, has no problem inhaling his food and then going to inhale whatever other food is around, too. It took her all day to finish her portion of dry food and 30 minutes or so to finish her wet food. Instead of finishing her food within seconds, she would daintily graze throughout the day and night. But a few months ago she started losing weight, amongst her other health issues, and then didn’t seem to like the hypoallergenic food as much as her old food. Ethel, my elderly 18-year old sweetheart, started a hypoallergenic diet last month.Įthel loves to eat, and has always wolfed down her food, even though most of her teeth were extracted years ago. I have two very different cats who now have different diets. Or they congenially switch bowls for a taste of the other’s when you don’t want them to.īut thankfully, there’s another solution, and that is the microchip pet feeder. Most cats are great at only eating from their special dish, but every cat eats at different speeds and then moves onto their friend’s food next. ![]()
