Freaking the Cats Out
For reasons that I won’t go into too much here, we feed the cats little and often. Partly to avoid Winston hogging all of Esme’s food, partly to avoid them gorging themselves (and then vomiting): they were picked up as kittens behind a Walmart, scavenging around some pallets. Such a traumatic early start doesn’t naturally lead to moderation in eating.
We recently bought an automatic feeder that will dispense kibble either manually or programmed. Numenius has an app to control it. At the moment they are wary and suspicious of the noise the opening slots make, but we hope this will eventually take away some of the early morning/late night feeding duties.
