Cat Forum / General Topics / March 20062 brothers and feeding
I have two cats, Nemo and Kipper. They are currently slightly past 1 year. My parents have said that we should feed them a little extra since they play with each other. (In other words, Nemo's normal food amount plus a little extra, and kipper's normal food amount plus a little extra.) They say that they need the extra energy because there playing with each other. I say no, because they probably would play the same amount if they were seperated, just not with each other. What do you think? Also, I was wondering if cats could be trained to eat out of thier own bowls and not the other cat's, and if so, how, and how easily. > I have two cats, Nemo and Kipper.

What do you think? Feeding "a little extra" than what is recommended is a sure way for them to have a weight problem in the future. > Also, I was wondering if cats could be trained to eat out of thier own >bowls and not the other cat's, and if so, how, and how easily. Try clapping your hands together when you catch them and say "no"! and then switch them back to where they're supposed to be. If done continuously, they may start to realize that they should be eating out of their own bowls (hopefully). Anna My cats that live together all feed out of the same bowl of dry food and all do very well, with a good size bowl of water they have no troubles at all.
