I have always let my cats graze on dry food throughout the day and then give them some wet food at night. I have never had a problem with cats over eating. Until Phoenix.... This guy is a piggy and now his sister has decided that every time he eats she should too. I was using a feeder that holds 5 pounds, and fills the bowl as it empties, but those two cats went through 5 pounds of cat food in less than 3 days! So today I took the feeder away and started rationing the dry food. I decided that I will give them wet food in the morning and when I get home from work.Then I gave them two cups of dry food and I’m going to see how long that lasts. Phoenix is full grown but just barely and Ash is 8 months old. I’m planning on giving Ash a little more wet food than Phoenix since she’s still growing. I’m hoping that buy doing this they will eat more reasonably. I’m super worried though I want to make sure Ash is getting enough food and that Phoenix won’t overeat. Is this a good plan? What do you all do to prevent cats from overeating? Is 2 cups of dry food enough for two cats if I’m supplementing it with wet food? Is it to much?
