I wanna try an experiment but I’d also like others experience here.

I’ve noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

    Feeding the gulpers last will only increase their food anxiety.

    When I had cats I fed them together, and they all had to sit in a straight line (side by side) and wait while I prepared their food.

    They got good at keeping each other … uh in line, and they all either succeeded or failed the task together (I mean if they failed we just kept trying until they got it).

    They didn’t seem to have much anxiety in terms of eating fast, and didn’t throw up often either.

    My suspicion is the co-op nature of the task they had to perform helped them feel at ease with one another.

    Who knows though. I trained them to sit there and wait because they’re were driving my girlfriend crazy with their meowing during food prep.
