    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Be prepared for a possibly long training period. My shy one… well it’s been a month and I still have to feed her in a separate room with closed door. So she’s still not free to graze. The mechanism that opens the latch isn’t that noisy, but it’s still just enough that it spooks her. I’ve been...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Wouldn’t work simply because Ginger needs to graze and eat at her own leisure. I’d have to keep Fred locked up all day. A crate only she can enter and whenever she wants is just the ticket so we will be buying a chip door and installing it on a large tote. Her own private dining room! 😎

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    LTS3 is the winner! Chipped door mounted in a tote is exactly what I’m planning. I’ve seen too many reviews stating that an aggressive bully/thief can and will simply shove his way into the feeder and ignore the door closing, which will not close if he just keeps his head in the way. Fred will...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Looks like the Sureflap might be the solution. Appears we can put a mix into it. My only concern is the automated flap looks pretty convoluted and may scare the crap out of her so she ends up not going near it.

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Anybody know if there’s a chip feeder that has timer settings? Like the ability to limit the times anything can be dispensed?

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Unfortunately slowing Fred’s intake will only cause him to go searching for an easier solution, which will be bullying Ginger away from her food and he’ll end up with all of it. I’m thinking now that a combination of a chip feeder and doing something different with the canned food may be the...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Already looking into this as a possible solution. ATM, we are feeding them a mix of wet and dry with a little water mixed into the dry and the canned just set on top. Seems to work well for them both. With a chip feeder I assume they only work with kibble so we’d still have to so something...

    My cat gets tired of toys QUICKLY

    I get the feeling your concern isn’t so much about the toys but about what the little bugger does when he loses interest in them. Which is to “take it out“ on your other cat. Am I right? Sounds to me like he’d rather be playing with the cat than an inanimate toy. My question is what does your...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    First time poster here so let me give a little background first: I am 60 and have had literally dozens of cats since I was a child. Many from very varied backgrounds. the first began with a stray from whom we kept three generations. Later I had Siamese/Angora mixtures all born in a horse...
