I feed my 4 cats at 9AM and 9PM only. All are on different foods with some medications mixed in so 2 are put in separate rooms (laundry room and enclosed hallway) and 2 in the same room which I supervise. One eats fast so she's fed last and then still tries to eat another's food so then I put her in a kennel while the rest finish! The whole process takes about 15 minutes but works out great! My vet praises me for how ALL of my cats are at their ideal weights... no free-feeding in my household...!

[@Valecat883]

I only have one cat. Her name is Arugula. We don’t have an automatic feeder. But I feed her before I eat breakfast.

[@lilyLEP]

An AWESOME name!! Much easier to feed them if there’s only one haha.

I have three cats, two diets. My senior boy is on prescription kidney food and my 1 1/2 year old brothers eat regular adult food. They eat 3 times a day and eat in separate bedrooms. It works for us but I haven’t taken a vacation since adopting the new boys.

[@miali6603]

Separate feeding can provide better care for cats.

[@carriep7378]

We also have a little furry food hoover and a grazer which meant we started using the surepet feeders linked to their microchips, we’ve been using them for 7 years. It’s so great, particularly as they have a mixture of wet and dry food. This looks like a whole new level though.

[@mkiyomur]

I like Surepet because you do not need anything additional besides their microchip. One of my cats chews anything hanging off of his collar so dangling rfid tag is a no go.

[@cyndiestamps1161]

We had the SurePet feeders and they worked great for years. But recently our gorger cat figured out how to shove herself in beside our grazer while he was eating, At that point he would walk away and the door stayed open while she polished off the entire meal. So we got a MiBowl feeder. It’s narrower, and so far Gorger hasn’t figured out how to steal from it.

[@SaheeliRai]

So they don't need to wear a collar with this feeder? Sounds even better! 😊

[@cyndiestamps1161]

Both the SurePet and the Mibowl feeders have microchip readers. Unfortunately our cat’s microchip has migrated out of range (down his shoulder/arm I assume) so he still has the wear a collar with the rfid tag.

It's great that the food trays are fairly shallow. I retired my auto feeders because the dishes were too deep. My panther was having fur chafed from his chin from pushing his face dow to eat kibble. I switched to shallow dishes and am weaning them off kibble also.

[@hebbbby]

We feed my 3 in different rooms and have done for about 5 years so they know the routine down to a T now 😂 they know the exact order I feed them and only the cat who should be in that room goes in that room 😂 I have somehow trained them well!

I had a timed feeder for my piggy kitty, she eats more than she's supposed to, so I set it up to give a little food at certain times of day. However, that made it harder for my grazer kitty to get to the food. So I got a microchip feeder. But my piggy kitty found out that the microchip feeder doesn't close right away, and won't close on a cat's face. So she was sneaking in after my grazer kitty to finish off her bowl.

[@metalcatmom5891]

Wait...do we have the same cat? That sounds like one of mine's antics.

[@miche13curry]

I have had one cat on an auto feeder (because she terrorizes us for food at 5 am) and the other on an RFID dish (he's a grazer) and have wanted a "both in one" option for forever! Can't wait for them to bring this to the Canadian market too

[@a.h.kfoury6909]

I was very happy to see Ferguson. The cats are adorable. Thank you Hannah for this info.❤

[@larak9553]

I actually have something very similar for my cat. We're a single-cat household, but I also have a dog and she always finds ways to get to the food that's reserved for the cat (it's honestly ridiculous, she even managed to steal it from a bowl on the windowsill). So I got this automatic feeder that recognizes my cat's microchip. Problem is that my dog figured out that she can still eat if she's fast enough. In the end, the pet feeder still has its place on my kitchen island. :D

[@aenor190]

I have 2 cats, the older one have bulimia and anxiety, so he eats his emotions to the point where he'll just throw up what he just ate. Plus he's on a diet, he's a rescue and is overweight. So he has 15 gr of food, 4 times a day (so every 6 hours) in a slow feeder. And the younger one tends to eat all his food at once, so he has the same schedule, with smaller portions, in his own slow feeder. And as the big boy doesn't go up on kitchen counters as he can't jump that high yet, I have his plate on the ground while the other one is on a counter, where the young one can jump. It was quite a few tries before I found an arrangement that works for now, and big boy even went from 8,4kg (18,5lbs) to 7,1kg (15,6lbs) in a little over a year! Seeing him able to run and play was worth the tries and efforts!

Very interesting. When I had my two cats they ate the same food. One of them then got sick and we had to switch foods. The vet said that both could eat the new food and it wouldn’t harm our other cat.

[@wyvern723]

We adopted two kittens in Sept of 2022. They were a bit malnourished, especially the runt of litter who was a full half pound smaller than her sister, who was also skinny. The bigger one would shove the runt away from her dish and gobble up her food. It took a lot of guarding the runt's food, bur eventually that behavior and both kittens felt more secure when they realized that bigger siblings weren't going to take their food (they came from a litter of 7). We have recently gone there small meals a day of wet food and they are doing great.

[@WendiintoancientHistory]

I have loved Chou Chou ever since you showed him to us as a kitten. I didn't mean to sound like I was begging for you to adopt him. But am glad you did. I just wanted the BEST person to care for this sweet floof ball. You are AMAZING, Thank you for all you do. ❤

I need these! One of my cats has no teeth and flutd-so he’s on a prescription diet and eats really slow/grazes. My other cat can eat a normal diet and has all his teeth-he eats really fast. Now my toothless cat is getting skinny and the toothed cat is getting so fat. We have to stand over them and watch to make sure he doesn’t eat all of our other cats food.

[@pinkamena11fazpony27]

You've made me start volunteering at my local animal shelter, I'd love to hear you talk about bladder stones in cats as I wasn't sure if the information of them needing special food for the rest of their life to up their PH levels to prevent future stones. I was told a cat with bladder stones will be fine after meds and they said NOTHING about medicated foods.

[@CatsGlobe]

Wow, such a clever solution for managing diverse feline diets! Loved watching your cats interact with the RFID feeder, great idea!" 🐾

[@kimberlycarpenter9468]

Haroun looks like such a big boy next to his tiny brothers!

[@leshyaedawnfire]

I currently have two cats, Wicket (2f) and Puck (1m), who eat the same diet. We actually use a hybrid method to feed them. There is one bowl of dry kibble freely available in the kitchen for them to snack on, and at meal times we give them a half can of wet food each, in two separate bowls that we place in different spots in the kitchen. The tricky part is we have to put Puck's bowl down first or he will go for Wicket's. Since they eat the same food, we aren't too fussed about them eating from each others bowls that much, but we do monitor Puck as he is a voracious eater with anything that isn't their usual kibble. We also give them Greenies periodically throughout the day to help fight tartar build up.

[@leahpresley2144]

I have NEVER seen a feeding product like that!!! Thats pretty cool!😊

[@MinxieGirl]

I have two microchip feeders, so my two cats can only eat from their own feeder, I customised them with their names and different coloured bowls and mats, makes life a lot easier when they are snackers, or in minxies case, a foodie who will eat anything and everything!

[@Emeraldmeg31]

I watched a cat who would shove his head in the other cats food dish when that cats tag opened it. Then when that cat would walk away the hungry cat wouldn’t move and almost get stuck in the dish. So they aren’t for really persistent cats.

[@nepa_cat_wrangler]

I invested in the Surefeed feeders for my multi-cat household, all of which were on different diets for different reasons. It works with their implanted microchips and was worth the expense.

[@forbezilla]

We have three cats total, Small Medium and Large. Small and Medium get immune boost mixed in with their morning and evening wetfood, Medium also gets an additional pill mixed in for her nerve trouble. Large gets a powder that helps with his stomach. Large and Medium have a dry food bowl on an end table and they can graze, Small never jumps up there, but she can't graze because she got very round lol. She gets fed a little bit of dry food at a time at certain hours

[@Demon_sans_official]

Thankfully both of my senior girls just eat the same basic senior cat wet food with a bowl of dry and a bowl of water that they can access whenever since with the dry food they will only eat when they’re hungry. The only issue we had was the cats eating the puppy food . Luckily our little Shih zsu pup is crate trained so he just has his food in there. Recently we started giving them all a salmon oil supplement just to try and prevent any problems that might come as they get older.

Wet food is easy to schedule feed with. Dry food is often grazed, and that's where the auto feeder comes in handy.

I love when Hourun argued about his grazing habits. Lol We have a rescue kitten that really was struggling to put on weight. The vet was finally able to get us a diagnosis of a very nasty intestinal infection. After meds cleared it up, his system is very sensitive. We put him on a sensitive stomach diet and he has just grown by leaps and bounds! He went from a little 5 pound kitty (and he's a large kitty), to a big beast! He isn't even 10 months old and 24 inches long and it's solid muscle! He weighs in at 15 pounds!

[@draig2614]

I’ve always had 2 cats, and they are often on different diets (and even when they are eating the same type of food, I want to make sure that no one is pigging out. I’ve always used the first strategy you talked about - set meal times, watch them both closely, and put away the leftover food when they are done. Though I once had one cat who was extra greedy paired with a cat who was extra generous with food, so I would feed the greedy cat in the bathroom with the door closed, and only released her when her brother was done eating 😂

[@0Stephanotis0]

Got a Feeder with chip recognition after we became a multi cat household. Cause one cat was always hungry and the other one was gaining weight 😅 Works pretty good for us, still have to have an eye on it since the always hungry one tries to steal directly while the other one is eating 😂

[@cabbagenut]

It would also be helpful in houses with elderly cats and dogs that will eat their food. When an old kitty can't climb, they will sometimes be bullied by any dogs for their food.

[@susancook1448]

We have this problem but I’d rather not make them wear collars. I have to police the senior cats wet food because younger ones try to take it. We found a cardboard box that hit narrow with mid-high sided with room for only one cat to eat. This helps.

[@microtyger]

Ohhh... what a great idea‼️ 🤔👍 Yes, my one cat has been eating the leftovers of the other, so something like this would be helpful.

[@SabineBlair]

I have two cats, one has a regular diet and the other has a sensitive gut diet and they’ve always been lil gremlins about each others food so they both have the SureCare microchip feeder. It’s great and they don’t need to wear collars for it to work (my Peggy can’t wear collars). We even got a kibble slow feeder insert for Jerry’s because he’d eat his kibble so fast he’d throw up. Now we’ve got a balanced tummy household!

[@sarahs1847]

Our 2 cats have access to adult cat wet food all day long - we fill the bowl once we got up and ready (always differs a bit, so they do not learn that there is a specific time when we serve food) and keep filling it over the course of the day once empty. We make sure there is enough food in the bowl before we go to bed because they both like to eat before joining us in bed some time. I feel very lucky that this works so well - both cats are not overweight, not gaining weight and also not waking us at specific times or so to get their meal. The only thing we give in limited amount is dry food. When we first got our cats as little kittens one of them would constantly empty the dry food bowl and gained a lot of weight in a very short time, so we could not do that classical "dry food bowl thats always out"-thing. Instead we are giving dry food at 7pm every day in a very small amount (around 15g) and this is in case the only time they come to us and "remind" us that it is time

[@blarrr]

I have 3 cats. 2 are brothers and eat the same (special) food - dry food that I leave out, and one shared can of wet food at night. My girl can only eat wet food due to issues she’s had in the past, so basically I feed her whenever she asks. Which she has now finagled into us feeding her 5+ meals a day. She’ll also send it back if it’s not warm enough, so if it’s not a fresh can, we boil water to heat it up. I’ve caught her eating the boys’ dry food a few times, but she doesn’t really do that anymore so I don’t have to worry about that. The boys love her food, however, so I feed her many meals in a separate room from them. Also, most of the time I have to sprinkle freeze-dried chicken on her food to entice her to eat. I’ve trained her to push a button to let me know when she’d like more. She refuses to eat unsupervised, so I spend more of my day than I’d like feeding her. At the same time, it’s a nice bonding experience. Aren’t you all glad you’re not my pet sitter?

[@metalcatmom5891]

I feed one in the kitchen and lock the other in the bathroom with his food, which he inhales in about 90 seconds (he will get his brother's food, my food, and your food if left to his own devices). Then he has to sit in the bathroom for the 20 minutes the kitchen kitty with 11 teeth takes to eat his food.

I have two cats now but back in 2013 I had three cats. Two of them were grazers and the third wasn’t. After trying many things I came across the SurePet rfid feeders and it was a god send. 11 years later I am still using them and the two I have now I have the same situation. One is a grazer and the other isn’t. The beauty of these feeders is that not only am I freed up once putting down their food, but I haven’t ever had any problems with the feeders.

[@Pendrake]

For a few years I had to feed three cats, each on a different diet. My sisters two, one was on a diet food and other was on a diet that was better for her allergies (they were really bad). Mine just ate standard adult food, though she was an still is quite skinny to the point that I always leave food out for her so she has the chance to eat if she wants. Naturally, mealtime was an effort. Ezzi, the allergic one, would eat her food so fast that she'd throw up and then she'd bully one of the other two away from their bowl if you let her. My Dange would eat a few bites and leave a mostly-full bowl for the other two to scrounge from. Charlott, bless her, would eat just her own food and leave (but, she'd sneak into my room where Dange's back-up food was and steal it from there!) I love my sister's cats to pieces, but I'm glad to just be feeding the one now.

[@CiarraiAnn]

But will it keep your cat from headbutting you at 4 AM when THEY think you should wake up and fill their bowl?

[@sarahr3209]

Each of my cats has a shelf on a bookshelf where they eat. They can each get onto their shelf no problem, but once a cat is on a shelf there's not enough room for the other one to get on to steal tidbits. Fortunately neither of them understand the concept of leftovers even remotely, so we don't have to worry about that. This technique also helps make sure the dog, who is allergic to everything, can't get to their plates at all ever.

I actually just started using an auto feeder for my cat whose prescription diet has made him get too chonky. I have to feed him smaller portions more often, so I needed an auto feeder to take the guesswork out of it. But of course if I’m not home at the feeding times, I have no way of knowing for sure that his brother didn’t get there first. I’m still on the fence about using an auto-feeder for my other 2 cats, only because I feed them freeze-dried raw meat that’s just barely not kibble-sized and is a lot crumblier, so I’m not sure it wouldn’t just clog the feeder.

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

When I had three cats I had to feed them in different rooms. The problem was that by the time I put the third dish down the first one had an empty bowl and had completely forgotten she had already eaten.

[@shanecampbell5100]

We have 4 cats and tried many foods. All of our cats have FeLV and one has FIV. All of our babies like the canned meat with gravy. We did try different kinds but they didn’t like a lot of foods. They especially do not like pate at all. Our vet never said they needed a specific diet. The one thing I requested of my husband, who does the feedings, was the lay off giving treats. Our one cat went from 12 lbs to 16 lbs very quickly. He’s lost a little weight because I had a talk with my husband. So I agree that you need to be aware of what they like, especially with health problems!!! I love to hear people talk about food plans ♥️ Your fur babies are precious!

I have 5 cats with different diets. The oldest is chronically underweight and the doctors can't figure out why. Must be a metabolic disorder. In any case, he needs high-calorie food. Merle is a rescue cat with gastrointestinal problems and gets diarrhea from many things. Teeny is a thief and accordingly overweight. Jonas had bladder stones and needs special medical food and Bolle is still growing and can eat as much as he wants. We use the Shurfeed feeders. Works wonderfully and looks super cute when everyone sits in a row while feeding the predators.

[@sidereus7]

Even when my cats ate the same food, it was nice to have an RFID feeder so I knew who was eating what. If one of the cats suddenly stopped eating, it was not a mystery to figure out who it was. And when one of them needed a special diet, it was no changes to their normal routine. Love this as a tool!

[@Miharuchin]

One of my cats is older and has kidney issues so he gets renal food, the other cat is younger and healthy, so she gets normal adult food. Now the younger cat doesn't really like the renal food and the older cat can't jump very high, whereas the younger one loves to jump on shelves etc, so I feed her on a shelf and the older one on the floor and that works very well for us right now.

I put Pepe in my bedroom to eat, but he quickly learned how to open the door. I have purchased many gadgets to try keep him in. When he does get out, he shoots out my room like a rocket and looks for Camilla’s bowls. I think I’ll give one of those feeders a try.

We are a 1-cat household right now. We adopted our girl on the Monday after Thanksgiving and we're still trying to figure out what she will and won't eat. She is incredibly picky! The only thing we know for sure is pate is out, and so is anything that comes from the sea. It's a work in progress.

[@JenPolishAholic]

I've had feeders that are programmed to my cats microchips for years, they are amazing

[@jacayz]

I’ve had 5 cats with different diets and I swear by the SureFeed microchip feeders. You don’t need collars - they work off the microchip each of our cats have. I bought mine when they first came out, so they are separate units, and they have to be each taught separately and the options are set on each on (time to leave bowl open, anti-bully, sensitivity, etc) They have a newer system with a hub and then each feeder, so you can program them all from the hub and also do things like track amount of food eaten, etc. And since the chip is already in each cat, you don’t have to worry about a cat going hungry if it takes its collar off!

I only have one cat but it took a while to figure out a feeding routine that worked, especially because we let him outside and he gets into the super cheap food that people leave out for the community cats. We feed him wet food in the morning if he wakes up for it and I try to put it in the fridge if he doesn’t finish it to not be wasteful. Then at 3pm and 6pm his auto feeder dispenses the smallest portion possible. Then at 9pm we feed him his wet food dinner and at 3 am he gets a midnight snack from his auto feeder again. Sometimes he steals a kibble from the dog’s bowl before we’ve given her permission to eat. But it generally works out. Having the auto feeder really helps with the consistency and if we ever leave him overnight we can just switch to all dry meals temporarily

Just what my cats need! One is on a special kidney diet, but he rather be on his see food diet: eat everything he sees___. Unfortunately, the feeders are way out of my tiny budget. Perhaps one day.

All three of mine are in the same diet, but they have different styles and our Milo kitty will eat everyone's so we got the micro chip feeders which do a pretty good job since my cats don't wear collars this was easier for us.

A kidney diet should focus more on low phosphorous than low protein.

[@jjbee11]

It does, but more advanced cases- like ferguson’s- also need lower protein.

My cats get exclusively wet food, unless I'm going to be away for a couple of days (we get a petsitter, but I still feel better using an automatic feeder). I've got a senior cat and one who's about 5, but the younger boy throws up if he hasn't been fed within a handful of hours (like he'll scarf the food and then puke it back up). I'd LOVE to get one of these, so I can keep my senior away from the food the other guy needs to keep his tummy settled, but between the price and then the dry thing... >

My 19 year old cat eats the same thing as my two 8 year olds and my 6 year old. The old one does get an extra pureed treat.

My cat is a trickle feeder but will only eat if I'm watching. She stares at me while I eat, too. I guess we're taking turns on guard duty.

I've got two cats. One 13yo tux lady, Henny, that I've slimmed down from chonky 7.5kg to now healthy 5.3kg. Our other cat, Coffi, is 5yo and last year, the vet discovered that she has kidney issues (like Fergusson), so she eats Hills Kindey kibble. Coffi is VERY picky and only eats her own kibble - nothing else. Our senior cat Henny eats everything she can get hold of, meat, fish, cheese, tofu, chick peas, and all sort of cat food. To keep her away from the young cat's food, we serve Coffis food on top of a 120cm cabinet - too high for the senior lady to jump up on. We have a feeding tablet for our senior cat, 50g Hills Meabolic kibble total spread out 5 tines a day. We have to mark on the tablet when she's gotten food since she nags with staring into your soul on the next person entering the kitchen like she haven't eaten in days just 5min after eating. She normally uses 10sek to eat 10g of kibble. I found out that if I soaked the kibble in water for a few minutes, she would use 4-5min to eat the sane amount and seems more satisfied afterward.

my cat recently gave birth on march 12th, to 4 kittens, one is a tabby like her and the other 3 are gray. One is fully gray and the other 2 are grey with slightly white stripes on their legs and face, i dont have a heating pad, or a bottle, they live off their moms milk but im planning on putting a small stuffie in there.

That automatic feeding looks like a great thing to have for the cats! Especially since the feeder only works for the cat that has the collar. That connects with it. That’s handy and cool! Even choosing the time to feed them, keep the food fresh and keeping track of your cat(s) eating. Sorry Haroun! No more leftovers for you 😆 Haroun: How will I live now!? 😱
