Go home, puppy... (Read 3433 times)

UConn, however, will scarf the entire bowl in five seconds - we finally bought her a "Slow Down Bowl" that has grooves in it - she has to work to get all the food out.

Do they make a cat version of this? We could use it for our Thor. He INHALES his food, then pushes the other cats aside to eat theirs...then he frequently pukes because he ate too fast...for a while we fed him on a plate so that his food wouldn't be "funneled" into his mouth as easily.

I want to know too. Kirsten, our orange cat is the same way. we have two cats, and he would eat everything first and leaving none for the other cat to eat, which is why she is tiny, and he is chubby, and he freq. throws up. Addie, if you know if there is such thing for cats, do let us know.

Kirsten, also, our cats' dr. said that leaving enough throughout the day should help our cat not throw up, so that he doesn't get to hungry that he eats too fast, and throws up. does that make any sense to you It didn't to us.

No. We can't leave food out. When we go away for a weekend we'll sometimes leave out a ton...enough for more days than we're gone...Thor will eat continuously and is hungry continuously--and the food is always completely gone. Has been gluttonous since he was a kitten. He's always been super lazy, too. We're pretty certain that he's got a lot of Persian blood. They are known for their lazy ways. My folks leave food out all the time. They have a cat that is HUGE. Their girl cats are both small and healthy weight, but Ben is enormous. He makes Thor look emaciated. Ben is a puker, too. I think if a cat is going to be a glutton he/she's gonna be a glutton. Leaving food out for a cat with no "portion control" doesn't seem smart to me.

Their vet had a GREAT idea!! Their bowl is pretty small, so the vet said to get one of those jumbo bouncy-ball things and put it in the middle of the dish. The cat's can't move that big of a ball, so they have to eat around it and can only take small bites. It is HILARIOUS, but it works!

Oh, that is a great idea! Plus Thor has a big head, so he'd have to work extra hard.

If this posts right... UConn is on the left, Suka is on the right. Suka - he always has this goofy look on his face. This is why we can never use our sofa:

OMG! They are adorable!!!! And yes, I see the "bat ears" Too cute! I'm currently dogless and just want one sooooo bad I'm dying! thanks for posting.
