It isn't going to be easy... for either you or the cats. |

So far all three of our cats like it, which is sort of a miracle. We cannot free feed because one of our cats would eat until she explodes if we did, although this means that the thin cat who would do better if she could graze all day long stays slimmer than we would like. Whether the Multi-Cat formula well help control the weights of the two pudgy cats while helping put on a few ounces for the thin cat remains to be seen. Another idea you might try, which worked for us when we only had the older two cats--put a bowl of food up on a dresser or counter. In our case, the fat cat could never jump that high to get it, but it was no problem for the slim cat to jump up whenever she was hungry. It doesn't work now because the third cat is too determined to get at food no matter where it's placed and despite her pudginess she will find a way to reach anything that smells like food. -Yngver |
