First cat Luna is eating new cat Rame's food. Luna is on diet food now and I watch what she eats so she will not gain weight - I want her to lose weight! She is 12.5 pounds on a small frame. Rame eats the kind of food Luna used to eat before her diet, so she goes into his room (that is a whole other story!)and sneaks his food.

They are both free feeders because I do not have a regular schedule and can be away for 8-12 hours. Luna gets crazy and tries to eat odd things when there is not food around for her for a long time. She will munch on paper, wood, etc. But she does not swallow them.

Neither of them gulp their food, they just graze on what I measure out. I measure their food out in the morning when I leave for work and then give them their smaller evening portion when I come home.

Any suggestions for either getting her to back off his food or how to retrain them them with my odd schedule>

Thanks
