Hi all, I’m kind of confused on this. My cat eats very slowly all day long. She’d go to her food bowl constantly throughout the day for a couple of bites and then back to whatever she does. I think we spoil her by making her food available at all times, my wife doesn’t think so. She throws up here and there and I’m thinking because she eats too much. So, my question to you all is, how often do you feed your cat? Do you fill its bowl all day like me? Do you have specific times of the day where you give them a certain amount each time and nothing in between? I’m leaning towards doing the latter. Give her, let’s say, half a cup in the morning and let her munch on it as much as she wants and the other half in the evening and nothing in between. She freaks out when her bowl is empty and starts crying and acting like she’s about to die of starvation. Give her food, then she takes one bite and leaves. Bro, wtf. Lol. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had a cat who would throw up frequently. He would just gorge himself when he was fed, and any “extra” would end up on the floor. He was a BIG BOY.
My current cats don’t seem to do that at all. I wonder if it was because he was rescued from a hoarder who had dozens of other cats in the house. Maybe he learned it through trauma. 🤷🏻♂️
Obligatory cat tax of the ol’ chonk. Miss you, Peekaboo!
I love it. I’ve never owned a male cat, I just realized that.
Sounds like a trauma/ptsd. I had a rescue cat who did that. It was like she was always in a race when eating. It was very funny how quickly she would duzzle her food even though it was just her there. lol
