As far as feeding them separately, it is only a matter of feeding the "special needs" furkids somewhere, so that the other's won't eat their meals. It can be inside of a pet carrier, or on top of something that is tall enough so that the others cannot gain access, or in a separate room with a door on it. If any of your furkids are underweight or overweight, then you will probably have to feed them separately. Since I have both kinds in my menagerie, I am still working on specific diets for them.

But the problem here is, if food is down for the others, then what is to stop the special needs cats from eating THAT food (as well as their special food)?
