I don't live with Chris (my ex, still friends, though!) and Lock (the Bengal) anymore, but, I know when I was there, we fed Lock two to three times a day. If he was eating beef or sardines, we'd put it in his bowl and let him eat off the kitchen counter or in the room we used to gate off (because of Finn). When we gave him a chicken leg, we'd just let him eat on the counter. It's easier to clean! And, no real specific times, just when we'd wake up, once during the day, and, before bed.
