How do I keep one of my cats from eating all the other cat's food

In order to make really helpful suggestions for u it really helps to know WHAT food u r feeding the cats. Certainly the idea of feeding the cats on a ''schedule'' at different times will cut out the fat cat from overeating.

You really should go to littlebigcat.com & read Dr. Jean Hovfe is article titled ''Feline Obesity''. There r many articles there on proper cat nutrition also. The information at thepetcenter.com is also very good.

In order to lose weight a cat needs a high protein diet (60% wholesome meat protein) & a minimum of carbohydrate. The widely promoted ''diet'' foods for cats have it a**backwards as they increase the carbohydrate & reduce the protein. Cats need high quality meat protein (no by-product meat which is contaminated with chemicals - maybe not rat poison & still a poor & suspect food for ur cat).

If this meat protein requirement is not met ur cat will overeat & be obese as she tries to get the nutrition she needs to satisfy her ''hunger''.

my cats do this sometimes. usually when it is treat time. one will gobble hers up and then try to sneak the other is treats. the easiest way is to feed them in seperate places. when your heavier kittie tries to go for the other cat is food, just pick her up and take her somewhere else. give your other cat time to eat. this should help some.

I ran into this.

What you are going to have to do is set a feeding schedule, and feed them separately. Close the overweight cat away while the other is eating, so the other cat can eat in peace. And when feeding time is over, take up the food.

Good luck!

You will need to set up isolated feeding times. when you have a cat like this, you can not leave a bowl out. It would be easier if you only had one, but since you have two. You will need to move to scheduled feeding times, and isolate the fat cat with her own food and not let her out until the other cats are done eating.

If they need special requirements they will need to be in seperate areas. They have large cat cages or place them in seperate rooms. There is no way to keep the one cat from eating the others if you continue to free feed. Being a cat Mom is not always easy and the health of the cat will depend upon you! Offer some cat n ip and try to get the heavy one more active! Good luck

Feed them at different times. For example, you could feed one cat while the other is in a closed room. Then you could feed the other one afer the first one is done.

Feed the greedy one first and when tubby is done put the food out for the other in a place the first one cant get too. Like the utility Rm. with the door closed.

Well, you can put the cats in two seperate rooms while their eating. I would say just cut down on how much the cat eats, and dont give it table scraps. Try and find foods that help it lose weight.

Ca not you just feed the cats in seperate rooms?

feed them in different rooms with the door closed and at certain times of day, not left out all the time.
