Pip has always had a 1/2 sachet in the morning, a 1/2 sachet in the evening and another 1/2 before we go to bed at 10pm (or else he wakes up in the middle of the night and eats our houseplants!). He has always had this same feeding pattern and amount increased with his size since I got him.

Now since Milly has come to us Pip is gobbling up his food as quickly as he can, even though I've put his bowl up on the table away from the little one and made sure she does not disturb him while he's having his dinner. I feed the little one about 15 minutes before I put Pip's food out (he's upstairs having a snooze normally!) because she'll eat and then do a wee and poo, give herself a clean and go straight into a deep sleep!

I just don't know how to break this habit Pip is getting into... help?

Thanks sharky, unfortunatly, he won't eat off a flat dish... he just pushes it off and then won't eat it if it's come off the dish and falls onto the floor! (he's a fussy kitty who has OCD about germs!
must be my influence)

BUT I've got a raised bowl which is flat so I'll give it another go. And they do get fed in seperate area's. Pip's in our spare bedroom and milly is in the kitchen!

Nope, he did as I said he'd do... he literally nudged every bit off the plate and onto the floor and then made a show of "burying" it and walked away!
