Hi There,



The best way to keep a cat from eating another cat's food is to feed them separately and never leave food down. Cats used to grazing will not like this, though!



Perhaps you can compromise a bit. If the cats are in separate rooms while you are gone, leave the food down, but pick up any remaining food when you return home. If the cats spend the day together, pick up the remaining food before you leave.........or you can leave down the light food only for both of them.



The very best way to help a cat lose weight is to switch to canned food, which is better for cats anyway. I feed canned food twice a day and also give snacks of dry food. Treats are usually bits of real chicken or cheese, which is much healthier than most commercial cat treats. The downside of feeding canned food is that it may not be eaten readily by cats used to grazing.



If you come to chats tonight, we can talk more about this



Regards,

PHKitkat
