I’ve been coming here from when our two sibling Ocicats were kittens; it has now been seventeen years and I am grateful for this community.
The cats are now very senior and doing well for their age. They have always been indoor only. These days they eat less heartily, like old people, and they prefer to graze rather than devour a bowlful of food like it’s about to vanish. We feed them four times a day. They are both a good weight for their age. We have reconciled ourselves to throwing away a certain amount of the food we put out for them because I would say that they now consume the equivalent of three feedings per day on average, not four. Do you think we should simply eliminate the late afternoon feed (the one they’d most often rather sleep through) and simply give them three meals instead of four, supplementing if and when they come asking for more?
With thanks in anticipation, as always.
