I'm in a no-win situation with two of mine - Gigio is very old and cannot eat his portion in one go (otherwise he cannot hold the food down), he eats a bit, has a rest for 10 minutes then goes back to his dish, he can even go on for hours (including nightime). So, seen his age the vet told me it's OK to leave some food out for him throughout the day. Maya obviously tries to take advantage of the situation and greedy as she is tries to help herself from her brother's dish, she is on the heavy side (and she is a short cat too so it stands out even more )and keeping her on a diet is almost impossible. I can't separate them otherwise I would not have any doors left and Prema, even though food is not on top of her agenda, hates closed doors and would scream the whole place down.

So I'm afraid I will have to keep a plump cat
