Up until a few weeks ago I had two cats who ate the same food, I gave them dry cat food and kept their bowl full so they could eat when they want. My cat, Oliver passed away and I have adopted a new kitten, Max, about 5months old. My other older cat, Sydney, just had a UTI and the Dr suggested giving her a urinary tract type food. So now Max and Sydney are eating two different types of food. How should I handle this so I know that they are only eating what they are supposed to be eating. I have only ever fed dry cat foot on an always available basis, so I don't know how else to do it. I would really love to hear your suggestions or what you would do or how you feed your own cats.

Thanks so much!

try to schedule feedings where both eat at the same time while you are present... I am still learning how to do this...

What is the brand of UTI food? If it is a normal brand that helps for UT health then you can just feed them both the UT Health food. I have 7 cats and when one got a UTI, I switched them all over to the food, and ended up feeding it to them for a long time until I switched again. At 5 months, the baby should be on kitten food though really unless he is overweight or something.

You might just have to feed them a small bowl a few times a day. A serving size is only about 1/2 cup per day or around that so don't overfeed them. Just have to do it seperately in different rooms.
