How can I stop my cat from constantly begging for food when he's fed?

Question

Hi, there. As far as we can figure we are definitely feeding my cat enough. He is maintaining weight, he gets fed several times a day, but he still begs incessantly. His only focus is food and his urgency is a bit alarming. Is there any low-cal tummy filling food I can give him to take the edge off but not push him into an unhealthy weight? Thank you.

Some kitties will just beg for food constantly. There are great food dispensing toys available which make the cat work for their food. They are balls with an opening. You fill the ball with dry food and Jasper will have to roll it around until it drops a kibble. This will extend feeding time significantly and it will keep him from just eating out of boredom and gives him exercise. your local pet shop should carry this food dispenser, or you can find it on the internet.
