I keep dry food out all day/night (Mixture of Royal Canin Indoor, Royal Canin Special and IVD Duck/Pea).
I feed them Innova wet food at night either when I get home from work, or right before bed.
They all have their special places to eat:
Noah-under the microwave cart (on a shelf)
Noel-on the table
Basie-doesn't like wet food...eats out of dry food bowls
Livvy-in her enclosure, next to her water
Micah-in the kitchen
Hermie-in the hallway
Phoebe & Sami are fed in the bathroom
I keep it this way for when Micah is on his raw diet and if the others require medication. Its easier to make sure they aren't bothered by the others and prevent bowl hopping... :)

The Es free feed. I fill the two bowls in the kitchen at night before I go to bed. They eat out of whichever bowl the other one last ate from...;)
They get turkey first thing in the morning and at dinner time. Edwina eats on the table, Eddie on the floor. Unless Edwina decides that Eddie's food looks better than hers in which case she eats his on the floor and he sits and looks sad until I put him on the table to eat Edwina's.

Our three free feed. Their bowls are in the den, right beside the kitchen. They all eat out of all 3 bowls. We refill the bowls at night before we go to bed. (We used to fill them in the morning, but found out that feeding at night alleviates the 5:00 a.m. "Feed me!" wake up calls.:))

They get food any time they want around here. There's always a bowl of food around. In the house the food is on the dryer, so the dogs can't get it.
Then when they are outside and get hungry, there a special made cat house where their food is keep, again made so the dogs can't get their food. That gets filled once in the morning and once in the late afternoon.
The kittens get feed on the screen porch, that bowl is always being filled.

Marsha free feeds. We just leave the bowl in the bathroom, and when it's empty fill it. Also, she thinks any time we open tuna she needs the juice, and when meowmie is having a popsicle, she needs to have most of it!

Both of mine eat dry food. Tito is fed in the guest bedroom, and Sophie is fed in my bedroom. I have to shut Tito in the guest room before I feed Sophie or else he'll eat her food, which is Science Diet Kitten, and his own food. Tito, I love him to death, but he's a little piggy!! The vet told me to go ahead and put him on adult weight loss food because he's already getting overweight at 8 months old. I have been feeding he suggested amount (1/3 cup a day) since the beginning of April, and so far, he isn't losing any weight, only gaining. :( Right now he weighs about 9 pounds, and while he isn't obese, I'd say he's a little too plush. Fat hanging down from the belly, etc. I feed him Nutro MaxCat Light, 1/3 cup a day, and he won't lose weight. I've tried the Nutro, Iams Weight Loss, Science Diet Lite, etc. etc. etc. I have gone through almost two bags of the Nutro and he's only getting bigger. So I will be buying another type next time I buy! :(
Anyway, I feed them each three times a day: at 7 AM, 5:30 PM and 11:00 PM. Tito gets 1/3 cup total for the whole day, measured into three even parts of course. Sophie free feeds. She eats as much as she wants, and then I have to put the leftovers up before I let Tito out of his solitary confinement :) As soon as I let him out, he runs to Sophie's bowl looking for bits of kitten food. He has even been known to turn her bowl over to get to pieces on the floor near the edge of her bowl, which of course means he spills her water bowl. Aargh, feeding time is not much fun around here!:rolleyes:
