Ok Pam, you asked for it!! lol We feed our crew once a day and some are fed together and some are separated. Let's see...Daisy and Jazzy eat in the kitchen from their elevated food dishes, DeeDee eats in the small bathroom, Vonney eats in the big bathroom, Serenity eats in the back bedroom, George and Sophie eat in the computer room, and Max, Tigger, Sox, Dudley, Jessie, Billy, and Shawna all eat in our bedroom with one of us in there. Jessie and Billy eat in the big overstuffed chair, Tigger eats on the bed (don't ask), Shawna and Sox eat on the floor on my side of the bed, Max and Dudley eat on the floor on Mike's side of the bed. It's really not too bad now that we have the system worked out. It usually only takes 20 minutes from the time we start filling the bowls until we have the bowls picked up again. Does that answer your question?? lol
