Re: Sniff - no new kitty

Good idea, but supervising 5 cats eating behavior is not on my schedule.
See, Mick doesn't want Slugger too close to him and Jack will spend his
time sniffing other cats while they eat first and Braveheart sometimes
can't seem to find the bowl on his own and Seamus would rather eat
alone. That's one combination. Then if you put a bowl in front of one
before someone else, the someone else might get miffed and say, "forget
it, I'll eat later." Another might just be thirsty now, not intersted in
eating at all. One of the ones that throws up eats slowly and
delicately, while another sucks the bowl clean.


Simply not going to happen here.

I had a cat like that. Ate like HOmer Simpson then URP. The fix was to limit
her intake at each sitting.
