I moved several months ago with my roomate who also has a cat. Her cat is about 14 years old and pretty fat. My cat is a little over a year old and pretty skinny still. The problems is the a couple weeks ago my roomate's cat starting eating my cat, Snow's, dry food which I hid under the sink area of my bathroom in my room. I feed my cat Nutro adult while my roomate feeds her cat IAMS weightloss/hairball. My roomate also leaves food out for her cat, but not as much since she is trying to get her cat to lose weight. I on the other hand am trying to get Snow to gain weight and therefore want her to have access to dry food at all times. My schedule is pretty crazy with school and so it works best for me to leave out the food. I have tried hiding the food bowl in another places so my roomate's cat can't get to it, but it hasn't worked. I don't want to separate the two cats b/c my roomate and I and gone most of the day and the cat's are each other's company...
However, it's getting slightly a little expensive and annoying for me to almost buy food for two cats; and having to constanstly refill the empty bowl (which before I had to do it only once a week b/c Snow eats so little, but now I have to do every two days).. any suggestions for what I can do to stop my roomate cat from eating Snow's food (places to hide it... behavior tactics to try etc...)
