Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2005How to slow down my cat's eating?
My cat eats too fast. No, She is not starving, she just eats everything fast. :-) I am told this could be behind some of the vomiting. Any experience with trying to slow down a cat's eating? > My cat eats too fast.

Try putting small amounts of food in different locations so she has to walk a little between mouthfuls. Small Chinese or Japanese sauce dishes work great. You could also try dividing the portion into smaller amounts and placing them around a large dinner plate, this way she'll have to pause between mouthfuls. Phil Wet or dry? You can a) feed smaller amounts more frequently or b) put obstacles like large stones in the plate and make her eat around them, as it slows her down. > My cat eats too fast.

My vet suggested ( if you're feeding dry kibble) spreading the food out on a cookie dish, not as easy to gobble. Good Luck Mathew, Chablis & Muscat One of my cats had the same problem with dry food - she would gobble it down then would often upchuck. My vet suggested putting a small rock (say about 1" in diameter in the middle of the food bowl - cat has to eat around it, slows her down - no more problems! KR2T > My cat eats too fast.

I'll bet a 1 1/2" dia golf ball would work well too, and it could be cleaned in the dishwasher. > One of my cats had the same problem with dry food - she would gobble it > down then would often upchuck.
