I have been using two bowls, and will continue. Trouble is, Cole continues to be overweight - he does snitch other food. (Oddly enough, he is the more playful of the two!) So I am trying Freedom's suggestion of putting the bowls away.

I think today the bowls will be out 4 times....in the morning, the guys get their wet food mixed with the Omega 3-6 oil, then the crunchies, and two Medi-treats each. Then they each head for the litter box, and come back to crunch some more. (Oscar was QUITE peeved when he returned from the box and found No Bowl, so I will allow the return trip and THEN put the bowls away).

Back about 2 pm...and brought the bowls out for a few minutes.

Will bring them out again at 5 or so (when I am getting my own dinner together).

Evening - we'll see...they got 1/2 c this morning, and that will last them til tonight. They should get 3/4 c each to be between 11 - 13 lbs.

If I can get Cole to a healthy weight, then I might go back to leaving the bowls out, as he seems to 'maintain' VERY well.

With only two cats, it's pretty easy!
