Well after about 3 days, they all caught on that if they didn't eat within 30 minutes that I would take the food away. Now they all seem ravinous each time and are eating their food much better.

Another thing that I like is that there's much less waste in their litterboxes. I was having to clean them out 2 times a day but now I only need to do it 1 time a day.

They also seem much more alert and active. I should have fed them this way a long time ago.

BTW that's a cute pick of Mitzi.

Thanks. My two are more active and playful too and more loving. It's SO nice! Not that it wasn't nice before, but this is even better! And they both look more alert and little bit trimmer. It's a good thing

I have always believe the feeding schedule to be much better than the free feeding routine. I am glad it is working for both of you.

I have to agree that my guys are a bit more active and I can already tell Scout has slimmed down a tiny bit. My only problem is they are really begging between feeding times (morning and night) and my husband has given into them few times this weekend. I too have noticed that there isn't as much in the litter box - nice change.

I guess overall they are doing pretty well for it to have only been a week on this schedule.

Thanks to RedHedd and KAK for the inspiration to do this and to the rest for the advice on how to go about it.
