    Separate bedrooms, with doors closed. Problem is, we have 7 cats and "only" 4 bedrooms. Dad says we need to get a bigger house for the cats! And now a pup is coming, sigh.

    Ask your vet about feeding them both the prescription food. Pete used to eat the c/d formula. He's switched a different brand now, but all my cats eat it. I tried feeding on a schedule and had a kitty revolt on my hands--which involved large amounts of pee on my kitchen counter! My vet said the prescription urinary tract formulas are safe for any adult cat. I free feed everyone Pete's prescription food and they are much happier with that. When I had a kitten, she got a growth formula until she was about 10 months old.

    I give out canned food in the morning. Although it rarely happens, if it's not gone in 30 minutes I empty the dishes.

    It takes a few days, but it's easy to get them into a routine. Divide their food into two meals, then feed them in seperate bedrooms. Leave them with their food for around 20 minutes, after that pick up the food and don't feed them again until night. At night do the exact same thing. After a day or two they will learn that they need to eat their food when you feed them.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    I have two neutered boys. One got a few crystals and bladder infection, and went on a special food for that.

    Both cats eat it - it's a preventative for the other furbaby, and less hassle.

    Might be the easiest way to go.
