I wish I could teach them to play bona fide

Lets do it

I wish Izzy could stop eating when she's full. If you put too much food down for her at once, she'll eat it all and throw it up. She has to be fed by the teaspoonful about ten times a day or my world will be turned to cat vomit. "Ability to stop eating when full" would be a nice trick.

Screw that, get her a puzzle feeder with all the grooves like an ice-cube tray or something else that makes her "think"/"work" for it. I used to have a scarfer/gulper too but its slows her right the fuck down 😹

How about no/zero throwups lol

She'd scream herself to death while I was loading it.

That's ok, let her dream and whine for a bit, its a small price to pay for changing her life

Taking the road less travelled often makes all the difference

You can get timed cat food dispensers.

Doesn't help with her wet food. We have to feed that to her half a can at a time.
