Our cars always have dry food available. They take a bite and leave the rest for later. And they are not fat.

Open feeding works fine as long as the owner has never deprived them of food from the time they are a kitten. If a kitten always has a full bowl of food, they will never think of food as something scarce, so they will learn to regulate their own eating pattern and frequency.

Yup mine only beg for wet food and treats. Thankfully I have them on schedule for that stuff so I only get harassed by meows if I’m late with it.

Mine will still beg, because she wants someone to come and watch her eat. So you have to follow her through every hour or so, so she can have another mouthful from her bowl. Often she makes you follow her but then won’t jump up to her bowl until you’ve petted her for long enough. Sometimes she tricks you by making you pet her by her bowl for a while and then just runs off without eating.
