I'm wondering what to do about my kitties.
When I just had Cleo she had unlimited dry food and got a packet of wet in the mornings.
Orion, my newer cat, was slightly overweight when I got him and was on a diet. He's a huge cat, but when the vet saw him a few months ago she said he was fine.
He still only gets what the bag says he should each day (they are both on urinary tract health food because their pHs were high) but he is OBSESSED with food. He will try to eat Cleo's food after he wolfs his. He'll scrounge for food on the floor, he'll try to open the cabinet, if I go in the kitchen he follows me meowing. He even has chewed holes in bags of human food that I left out (didn't think he'd do that!)
My question is: If he had unlimited dry, like Cleo used to, do you think he'd gorge himself or would he learn to ration? It would really help if I could give him unlimited for times when petsitters come, etc.
What do ya'll think?
Thanks!!!!!!
