We used to free feed, but then I was worried that Bach and Eliza were eating too much .. namely because i always saw them by the food bowl whenever i glanced that way.. and Eliza was overweight when we rescued her, so I thought I would switch how they were fed.

Currently they get fed once a day at about 8pm. They are not happy about it, but are adjusting, and I measure it out, and put it down, and if there's anything left, I leave that.

Although I am thinking to follow Jen's advice (I tell ya, Jen is the cat meowmie goddess!) to give them each their own in a part of the apartment, so i can monitor everyone's habits, so if one starts to get sick, I can pick up on it more quickly than I could now. (sooner the better is my motto!)

I know they will HATE that for a while .. but they also know that I am more persistent than them, and if they want the food, they'll eat it when it's down (Eliza tried snubbing her nose at me when i first changed to the once a day, but then she thought, oh, she's really sticking to this 8pm thing... lol)
