My problem has been that I have a male cat who had been astray and was very hungry when he was found. I think he remembers that he never wants to be hungry like that again! Then I have a female calico cat who is a nibbler. Before I inherited her from my mother, she could have an open bowl of food to go to anytime she wanted all day long. Now my male cat just waits until my female cat walks away from her bowl with food still in it and dives right in. He is become very overweight the fact I’m always trying to protect her food and scold him when he gets any And I have cut back on his own kibble by about one tablespoon of kibble from each meal. I’ve always thought there should be a bowl that would only open for the right cat, but I did not know that it existed! Thank you so much for the tip! I’m definitely in dire need of this, and will buy it no matter the cost! Lol!❤😽😽

One of our cats is SO affectionate that my husband cries as soon as he thinks of the day we will loose her. She sleeps on us or beside us every night, cuddles and plays more then a child🥹
the other cat is more standard level of cuddles😅 we love them both. And we have a tenrec too, he is very veeeey cute 😍 but we have not yet found any vet that has ever met a tenrec before.

My cat eats so fast by the time the others have started he finishes and he knows it’s bad because if I sit there he won’t do it but if I’m out of vision or turn my back he will go for it and I do end up shouting No but even tho he stops he will forever continue to listen, any other tips I feel like these tips won’t really work

They do like the other cat's food. Haha.

my female will wait for her brother to eat most of his food and won't touch her bowl, then he'll leave, she will eat the rest of his food and he goes and eats her food! she's been brainwashed

Hi great info, thanks. One question. Should I share my food with my cat when I'm eating? I mean, if he asks wants and if the food isnt something that he can't eat, then should I give him a little bit?

One cat is not very friendly and hides under the bed, but the other cat is the complete opposite. The scared cat hides under the bed so the other cat eats all his food. Lol I put some food under the bed but the other cat eats that food as well.

I've been told to take my female cat to a behavioralist but i dont have the money for that I was given the cat because I'm depressed since my husband passed away. I only get survivors benefits and it's not too much butni don't want to give her away I cnt. Please help. My cat is eating her sisters cat and is very territorial. They're both spayed and are fully vaccinated and healthy.
