I really want to be able to put the kitties on a timed schedule, but they're all accustomed to free-feeding. And since Nancy and I both work such unpredicatable schedules, getting the cats on a feeding schedule could be pretty difficult. But I've got to find some way to help Amelia lose weight. Maybe I can start walking her frequently - we both need the exercise! |

Maybe I can start walking her frequently - we both need the exercise! Sammy was doing very well on her diet until we took in three extra families. That caused my other cats so much stress they went off their feed and they were losing way too much weight way too fast. I have to encourage them to eat, and in doing so Sammy ends up with extra portions too (poor baby is a stress eater I guess, I can relate! ;). Hugs, CatNipped |

Isn't there some way that you and Nancy *combined* could come up with a system? If you could feed your cats twice a day, and try to stick to premium canned food, I think you would find an enormous improvement in overall health. It does take some time and patience on your part while your cats are adjusting. When I changed from free-feeding dry food to scheduled canned food, I had tremendous guilt pangs because my twosome obviously did *not* want this change in feeding. I also did it gradually -- not just a "cold turkey" change. The result in both cats (but especially Duffy, who had been in a shelter for several months before I adopted him) was remarkable. MaryL |

years) free fed quality dry cat food. And we've never had an overweight cat. Jo From the way she goes after food you'd think that Amelia used to be a starving homeless feral. When I go into the kitchen in the morning to serve up the canned food, she's first in line. And once she's finished her dish, she makes the rounds of the remaining five dishes to polish off any little morsels left over. Then she helps herself to some kibble. But we adopted her from the local shelter folks (the ones that show kitties at the local Petsmart every weekend) when she was just a couple months old. |
