Both of mine eat dry food. Tito is fed in the guest bedroom, and Sophie is fed in my bedroom. I have to shut Tito in the guest room before I feed Sophie or else he'll eat her food, which is Science Diet Kitten, and his own food. Tito, I love him to death, but he's a little piggy!! The vet told me to go ahead and put him on adult weight loss food because he's already getting overweight at 8 months old. I have been feeding he suggested amount (1/3 cup a day) since the beginning of April, and so far, he isn't losing any weight, only gaining. Right now he weighs about 9 pounds, and while he isn't obese, I'd say he's a little too plush. Fat hanging down from the belly, etc. I feed him Nutro MaxCat Light, 1/3 cup a day, and he won't lose weight. I've tried the Nutro, Iams Weight Loss, Science Diet Lite, etc. etc. etc. I have gone through almost two bags of the Nutro and he's only getting bigger. So I will be buying another type next time I buy!

Anyway, I feed them each three times a day: at 7 AM, 5:30 PM and 11:00 PM. Tito gets 1/3 cup total for the whole day, measured into three even parts of course. Sophie free feeds. She eats as much as she wants, and then I have to put the leftovers up before I let Tito out of his solitary confinement As soon as I let him out, he runs to Sophie's bowl looking for bits of kitten food. He has even been known to turn her bowl over to get to pieces on the floor near the edge of her bowl, which of course means he spills her water bowl. Aargh, feeding time is not much fun around here!
