We have one overweight cat and one normal weight cat, and feeding them is the problem. You know the story: the normal-weight one needs to free feed to maintain her weight and the fat one needs limited feedings. The fat one, of course, eats the skinny one's food.
We have had a thousand recommendations for how to fix the problem but most of the remedies take advantage of discrepancies in their size (the fat one's too big to jump, so put the food up high, etc). But our additional problem is that the fat cat is the smaller one by nature; the skinny one is just a larger cat. People hear that and are then at a loss -- so my question is:
is this an odd situation? Does anyone else have the problem of a big skinny cat and a small fat cat or if you have the skinny/fat problem is your fat one bigger and your skinny one smaller?
