I have 2 cats: Monkee & Whiskey. Monkee is a 4 yr old who has been brought up eating free choice. Whiskey is only 7 months old and I adopted him from the SPCA in April. They are both neutered.
Whiskey will eat and eat and eat until the bowl is empty. I have bought a food puzzle and he figured it out so fast that the food is gone within 15 min of filling it. I have been meal feeding him 3/4 of a cup split into 2 meals and maybe a snack or 2 to keep him occupied while trying to feed Monkee.
I have no problems with meal feeding but the issue is that Monkee will not eat enough when I feed him and he is losing weight. I fill his bowl full so he has lots of food and some days he eats a couple pieces and walks away. I am just worried about the fact that he is losing weight. Monkee is also a picky eater. I have tried adding wet food to his meal but he only likes to lick the gravy and won't eat the meat.
I am just at a loss as to what I should do. Monkee does great on free choice but Whiskey doesn't as he will eat way too much. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do? Thank you in advance!
