My two cats eat completely differently. I have one that prefers to graze her food bowl all day, the other eats like a dog and will sit and finish whatever is in the bowl. I had never had a problem with my one cat over eating, But i put my second cat on a diet and can no longer leave the food bowls out.
My concern is that she is not getting enough food, If i give her too much at a time she will get sick so i can only give her small portions. I try to feed her small "snacks" during the day but i am not usually home all day to feed her. i feel like she is becoming increasingly agitated and i don't want her to go hungry, but my vet had no words of wisdom and im not sure how to solve this.
I looked into possibly getting one of those microchip pet feeders, it would allow her to access her food bowl without my other cat getting to eat her food...i am just hesitant to spend that amount of money if it doesnt work. has anyone used them? i am worried my other cat would find a loophole and get to the food anyway...is it actually successful in keeping other animals out?
any insights would be appreciated!
