Hanna Watermelon :*(

I feed measured feedings twice a day. Each cat gets the amount and the type of food that they need. All cats are separated. This is done by putting 11 of them in carriers and the rest in separate areas where they can't reach each others food. I close them up and when I let them back out I know that they ate the right thing and I know how much (especially important to figure out is someone is on a hunger strike.

It is not really as hard as it sounds and you would be surprised how quickly a new cat will adjust to the system.

Jen, how did you figure out how much each cat should get? I know that by looking on the side of cat food bags/cans IMO they recommend way too much food! I was reading a can the other day and they were rcommending 3 cans a day for a cat Hanna's size!

Since they have been free feeding I don't have a good grasp on how much each eats. I want to allow Hanna enough food to feel satisfied, but to slowly lose some of her chub. I'm going to post a picture of Hanna in a second....
