Baby Oliver's food bowl is upstairs and Abigail's bowl is downstairs. Oliver just came home with me last weekend and I just introduced them for the first time last night. Twice tonight I've had to bust out the spray bottle to get Oliver to stop eating Abigail's food. He's already finished his food. I'm feeding him the recommended amount that's on the bag, so I think he's just being a little piggy. To be honest, I'm surprised Abigail isn't throwing a fit about him being in her food bowl. But I don't want him to over eat, so what should I do? I think he might be the type of kitty who just keeps eating until he throws up, and I'm not a fan of cleaning up kitty vomit!~

Okay, now it's three times that I've caught him doing it. Ugh.

Depending on his age, he may need more than the recommended amount. For example my new kitten, that I too have had only since last weekend eats 4 times a day and its not small amounts, but a bit more than the recommended amount, coz he's growing. He is about 3mths old.

My Diego is 6ths old and he thinks the grass is greener on the other side too, he eats the kittens food or Neko's but won't touch his own. I think its just a phase. The older cats don't seem to kick up fights,, rather just let it be.
