My former kitty, Goofus was an over-eater and over-weight. We kept him on a scheduled feeding too. Since both my husband and I worked, we set his schedule to eat in the morning while we were getting ready and hubby fed him again when he got home as I got off later. He settled into the routine very well-so well that on the weekends when we could sleep in later, he was ready to be fed at his normal 5:30 am. He was a gulper and no matter what food I gave him, he would eat it whole and not chew it. Boris is a different matter-he sets his own schedule but we have noticed as he is getting older that he now eats more in the mornings while I am getting ready for work and again at night while we are eating dinner. I guess he feels that he has to eat too. Goofus was not interested in human food either and only ate dry cat food. Boris on the other hand, loves human food and we have to watch him as he would easily eat too much.
