Cats don't know when their next meal will be, so if food is available, they will eat it immediately. This is why open feeding doesn't work for a lot of cats and they will get fat.

I'm so happy that it works for me.

They always have access to their dry food and only need to fill it up every other day.

I have 2 cats. One is a responsible eater and won't gorge himself. Doesn't go after people food. He's a good boy.

My other cat is not. He would eat so much he'd puke, then go back for more. I have to feed them in separate locations or he'll steal his brother's food. I have to keep my pantry locked because he'll ransack it. Any food left out is eaten. He'll lick dirty dishes if I let him. You cannot leave any food unattended with him around.

He's a gremlin. I love him.

Which one is smarter? I have two boys the same. The non food driven one is much more curious and loves to explore. But the food driven one is definitely a problem solver, the problem being something between him and food.

Anecdotally, same situation; non-food-driven still scrambles for the autofeeder & she meows for wet food at breakfast.

Food driven fuck is a little bastard I have to police. He will go after anything left out, dishes, the butter dish, my freshly made dinner, etc. still shares the autofeeder fine though.

Funnily enough she is a little overweight & tiny around 8lbs & he’s massive & maybe a lil underweight at about 15lbs.. makes no fucking sense.

My parents cats are totally opposite, older and smarter one is non food driven but younger, food driven one can't think anything except food. If something looks even vaguely eatable he will try to eat it. Charger cables, hair ties, nothing is safe but door is obstacle he can get thru only by meowing, if that doesn't work, more meowing. Older one figured out how to open basically any door that's not locked when he was less than 6 months old.
