How to switch free-fed cats to scheduled meals for different foods?

Question

How do I shift my cats from 'free feeding' (I let them eat whenever they want because I work long hours) to being fed 2 times a day (because I need to feed each cat different feed)? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 2 years and 3 months old

Divide the daily allotment into two equal portions. Put their food down in the morning in separate rooms so they can't eat each other's food. Leave the food down for 30 minutes, giving them a chance to eat. After that time, pick the food up. Feed them again in the evening, again giving them 30 minutes to eat. They will learn to eat at those allotted times. Best of luck.
