So I have three wonderful amazing pets-- 2 cats and a dog, I just recently got the second cat and that has messed up the whole meal time dynamic a lot!
Problem number 1: My dog is a lab so he eats everything, including my cat's food.
Problem number 2: The cats. They eat each other's food. I am concerned that one will get too much and one will get too little, resulting in weight issues. But do cats know there food limit more than dogs? My dog is a bit overweight. If left to their own devices will cats eat so much that they get fat or is that just a dog thing?
Problem number 3: My new cat eats my dog's food. And he seems to have an extremely sensitive stomach. When we switched his food it resulted in bad bowl movement issues. And now it is happening again. It could be because he is eating my dog's food, but also maybe because my two cats are on different foods. My one cat is 1 years old so he gets adult food, but the kitten gets kitten food (but is also eating the adult food).
Problem number 4: Also I want to transition my 1 year old cat to adult food but he keeps eating the kitten food! ugh!!
Sorry this is so long but I would appreciate any ideas! Am I making a bigger issue of this than it is? Should I just not be so uptight about them eating each other's food as long as they are all eating? Is it detrimental to their health if they eat the wrong food?
Anyways, thanks for any advice/input you all have!
