    Hi and welcome to PT. Several smaller feedings throughout the day are much better than only one large feeding. She may not like it at first but she'll learn. If she hasn't been to the vet I would get her checked out. She could have worms or as Karen said she could also be pregnant if she hasn't been spayed. Please keep us updated about her. Good luck.

    Free feeding often leads to over weight pets. It is not a recommended feeding style.

    I put food out 3 times a day. It should be gone in about 20 minutes. After that, pick it up and don't put any more down till the next feeding time.

    My vet told me twice a day; I replied that my cats haven't read your books! I did try twice daily but the pitiful meows were too much.

    My Sparkle wakes me up in the mornings to eat. If I don't move fast enough, she clears the night table: lamp, clock - radio, book, glasses, everything goes crashing to the floor! So be happy yours just runs across the pillow!
