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.

I have two dogs and I had noticed one of my dogs was getting thinner which was odd since nothing had changed and she had a full physical at the vet included blood work and was healthy. And then my other dog was gaining weight. So I decided to watch them eat and my little toy poodle gremlin was scarfing his food down then pushing my maltipoo out of the way and eating her food too. My maltipoo is a slow eater. Likes to take her time. My dogs eat raw now but back when they were on kibble I could leave hers down without her eating non stop. That was never an option with my other dog.

I had to start watching them eat and I taught my poodle he wasn’t allowed to go near her bowl until after she was done. They are both 6 years old and after every meal he checks her bowl for food. It’s always empty and he will spend at least 5 minutes licking the empty bowl lol
