Should I take away catfood once everyone's had their initial fill? (lemmy.world)

I wanna try an experiment but I'd also like others experience here.

I've noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

If there's one thing I've learned having and caring for many cats over the last 30 years, they've all got their quirks. Some were over eaters that would throw up almost daily. Some would be grazers and do just fine with their bowls full all day and night. No answer is going to be just right for every cat.

If you have cats that eat at different paces, you might just have to feed them on a schedule in separate locations. That was the only way we could handle it when we had the same situation.

And it's important to take the time! They deserve it and will be a huge improvement to their life. Don't let them chonk, they are really sad when they dechonk.
