I have successfully have 3 of my cats on regular meals with wet food and commercial raw. They understand that food will be out for a half hour in the morning and evening. If they eat fine, otherwise they wait until the next meal.
My problem is Lucy. She will not consider a wet diet though she eats a couple of bites of Carly's wet every few days. So she is on kibble. Because I don't want the others to eat kibble, I can't keep the kibble out for any length of time. So now we are stuck with Lucy taking a few bites and wandering off. I pick up the food and in 5 minutes she's back demanding food. This is extending much farther in the day than I would like. Any ideas about how I can get out her whining for food all of the time? I'm wondering if I should just put her in a room with her food for 1/2 hour in the morning and evening when the others get fed. This will throw everyone else off and they won't eat right away, but maybe all of them will adjust in time?
