Here is an interesting one that makes no sense. I'm working from home these days, and my two cats get, and have pretty much always gotten, 4 meals a day. A handful of dry for breakfast, 1/2 can for lunch, 1/2 can for dinner and handful of dry at bedtime in the same bowl with any left over moist food. They often finish the dry to a clean bowel, but rarely do better than 80-90%ish with lunch, and 60% with dinner. It varies some, but the bowl is never clean by nighttime, there is always leftovers. So at night, a handful of dry goes over some leftover fairly unattractive well browned moist food -- and the bowl is licked clean by morning.
What sense does this make lol?
The 5 year old is a lean 11 pounds, and the 2 year old is a borderline too skinny 8 pounds (smaller) cat. The 11 pounder is at a great weight I feel, lean and healthy. As for the 8 pound girl, a vet would probably say she is fine and at a great weight, she hasn't been in too long (I know I know) but we would certainly let her eat more if she wanted. Its really not a lot of calories for two cats. But at the same time, how can I put out more given how much food they are leaving in the dish and only finish overnight?
I figure its a stable and acceptable situation, even if its weird, and I dont really understand it.
