Our four get a tower feeder of Iam's (the one in the orange bag). We also give them canned food as a treat. Typically, both Jan and Joxer go running into the kitchen each morning for their "breakfast" (its the one trick they know). If Sid or Quincy decide to show up, they get a spoonful also. Except of course, for Sid, you have to smash the wet food onto the plate because he likes to lick it instead of eat it - no, there is nothing wrong with his teeth because he eats the dry stuff with no complaint - it's just his little quirk.

The same routine happens in the afternoon when we return home from work. Jan is our little gleaner - she patrol's the rest of the plates for leftovers, so we rarely have any wet food that is out too long to get spoiled.

Anyway, I've also witnessed the "nose in the air"routine, especially from Quincy, who is the least interested in wet food. Fortunately, because Jan will eat what ever he leaves, it doesn't cause a problem.

So, David_M - I'd just recommend having the wet food be a "treat", and try to get your cat used to the dry stuff so that you don't have to let food stay out and get spoiled. Good luck.
