Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 years and 9 months old | 18 lbs
Hi! I'm trying to help my cat loose weight, but even if we control his portions he keeps stealing my other cat's food who is a slow eater - more on and off eating and not in one go. Do you have any advice? Thanks !

There are only two ways you can control this. The first is to separate them during feeding times, offer multiple feeding times in a day and not to leave food down to free feed. The second option is to purchase one of the specialized automatic feeders with the individual collars. Each cat will wear it’s own special collar and when it approaches the feeder, the feeder will read the collar and dispense food or not. Best of luck.
