How often do you feed your cat (lighthearted)

^ It’s amazing how long a cat will hold out if they don’t like a certain food.^

So true. My Miss Fusspot is a good example. I remember the Vet Nurse saying to me briskly when I was discussing her food that a fussy cat will give in eventually, and for to just stand firm. Ha !

The nurse did have the good grace to say to me the following year that she had just acquired 2 cats herself and realised that what she had said was totally untrue.

My two are on dry food only. I aim to feed them last thing before bedtime so I'm not woken with an insistent paw in the face at silly o'clock, but otherwise it's when I'm gently (and vocally) reminded that the bowls are empty. Each has a bowl in a preferred location but they do tend to plunder each other's bowl without rancour.

Bedtime also brings the replenishment of water. The two of them share a tumbler on the coffee table. It's better than a bowl because it keeps their whiskers from getting wet and means that I can keep an eye on the level as it's important to have plenty of water with a dry food diet.

My two have a sachet between them morning and evening and dry food available. This was their regime when we took them in. That said they will always try their luck!

My cat has up to 4 sachets a day and always has a bowl of dry food and fresh water available. There is not an ounce of fat on him, our vet commented that he was the biggest DSH he'd ever seen.

Mine doesn't like dreamies but he got a Christmas present from Fortnums, munchies, a very small pack costing £6.Yes, quite nice he says.

Twice a day, morning and evening.
