Y’all don’t just dump half a cat of food into a bowl and just let them eat when they want?
I don’t feed my cat other cats, only organic. I love my kitty witty too much.
No because I actually care about my cat and don’t want him to be obese. I know. Fucking weird right?
No? They’ll eat until they’re full, but they’ll eat so fast they barf, and then they go eat more.
They’ll eat their own barf too, with nom nom sounds
My cats have never ever been fed in their entire lives ever. Just ask them.
lets cat in
“I am once again asking to go outside.”
Around an hour before dinner is served, our fat one starts reminding us that if we wanna feed her early, she’s never had a meal and is starving to death so that would be fine.
Low key hated when my cat did that. When he got really old I couldn’t enter the room he was at or he would ask for food EVERYTIME.
Food? Or affection? This broke my heart a little.
I recommend over the ear, noise reduction headphones to drown out the cries. Also keep your eyes high up towards the horizon, and keep moving.
I’ve actually heard that using a timer released feeder is best so that your cat associates you with cuddles and the machine that has no emotion with food.
There’s definitely a lot of variables in that decision, so it’s not a “one size fits all” recommendation. A timed release feeder can be helpful if your cat is constantly pestering you for food, but having your cat associate you with food can also be beneficial to your relationship and can be a tool to address some behavioral challenges. If your cat is only pestering you near meal times, adjusting your routines might also work. For example, if your cats are harassing you to wake up in the morning to feed them, then adjusting your routine so that feeding them is no longer the first thing you do will likely help to reduce or eliminate the unwanted behavior since they won’t associate you getting up with them getting food.
Another potential issue is that wet food doesn’t really work with most timed release feeders, and I don’t think there’s any microchip-based timed feeders that are compatible with wet food. Wet food is much better for cats than kibble, so even if you use a timed feeder for kibble, they should also still get wet food regularly too.
Oh brilliant, thank you for the tip!
