Hey guys, I need some more suggestions. Here's the thing: Daisy has discovered the food and now eats and eats and eats. Bob has always been the grazer type of kitty , since he knows there is always food around (you know, eats a couple of nuggets, goes running around the house, then comes back for a little bit more and so on). It has been almost a month since I took bob off the kitten food (he'll be one in a few days) and I think he is losing a little bit of weight.
Now, I tried scheduled feeding (problematic for me since I am gone most of the day lately), but Daisy felt 'threatened' and started binging on the food as soon as I put it down (and sometimes eating so fast that she would puke after).
Somebody suggested put low calorie food and supplement with treats but bob is not very fond of them. Forget about supplements, I have bought several and he won't go near them.
Neither Bob nor Daisy will eat anything other than cat food (dry or canned, I mostly use dry for convenience). They are not curious about my food
How else could I keep up the weight on Bob and maintain the weight on Daisy? They don't have a bowl preference either and exchange bowls without a problem.
Any suggestions would be welcome
