I've also had to stop free feeding because I now have several cats that don't know when to stop eating. Since I work long hours during the week, I give them 2 small feedings in the morning and 2 small feedings in the evening. The first feeding is usually around 7:15am or so and everyone gets wet and dry. Storm usually only gets wet and he gets a lot to make sure that he receives plenty of moisture. Then at around 9am I feed them all a little dry.

At night I feed them usually between 7-8pm or even later if I get home late. The first feeding is wet and dry and Storm once again receives a lot of wet. Then I feed them again before I go bed which is usally 11-11:30pm. So far everyone is at a good weight except for Starr. He's still on pred and he's now a whopping 12.5lbs. I also started a thread in cat health about him if you'd like to read more. My cats eat Innova Evo wet and dry and also some wet Evanger's Organic Turkey and Butternut Squash. They get about 1/2 cup or a bit less of the dry each day. I also give them Vitakitty Chicken Breast Treats a few times a week for treats.

I guess I may have to try to start feeding Starr less food. I feed him in my bedroom so it should be easier to control what he eats. Good luck with your furkids Candace. Your Cole sounds just like my RB Pepper.
