Reply to comment by Icy_Note_8154 in I think I just walked in to an intervention by PredatorRanger

"We're here to talk about our food, or rather the amount of it. We think you have a problem, with a light scoop."

The one on the right is definitely eating the other cats food lol

Yup 😂 That fat gargoyle was a severely wounded street cat when we adopted her; she's definitely food insecure, so she helps herself whenever the opportunity presents itself.

I love her too! That marking on her face is just like the emoji: 🫤 Hee!

It's a constant work in progress. Turn your back on one, and they start eating someone else's food...or sometimes the dogs' food gif

I'm not sure if it helps or not...but I recently talked to someone who uses automatic feeders, they said it helped. I have to feed mine in separate rooms because one will push the other out of her food. I do get the mentality though. I found Nugget in the woods and for the rest of his life, making sure he HAD food was always the first thing he did upon waking...Always.

Thanks for the suggestion! We had a feeder that was keyed to a collar tag - unfortunately, only one of our cats will voluntarily wear a collar. The others would either slip out, or get their claws stuck in it until we helped. Definitely an idea to revisit soon!
