I LEARNED.... LEARNED good, feed them 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 after dark or I get woke up early in the mornings by hungry cats! I only do the free feeding when I know I will be gone overnight and then I worry they will over eat or one not get any... (Ya have to remember Samantha eating habits when I first got her, she'd run bowl to bowl until all of them were empty)

It is mainly how you raise them and what they are use to. I can put their full amount down in the morning and it isn't all eaten until the next morning. Try the 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening and see how it goes. I DO use seprerate bowls because they do not like to eat alongside someone else and Amy's tendency to fall over into her bowl.

I can go in my kitchen 100 times a day and nobody notices until dark when they all come running. These little sweeties KNOW they get treats when it is dark and everytime I go in there after dark, here they all come, running and begging... They are just so cute!
