This may sound a little goofy but we have several cats that need to have
separate feedings. What I have in mind are collars that have radio
transmitteres in them with different frequencies. The cat can then walk up
to a covered feed dish that will have a radio reciever and open in response
to the transmitter. Any one hear of anything like this?

TIA

How about doing it the other way around? Put three dishes in three
small "rooms" use the radio transmitter to remotely open
the door on the needed room as it was needed.

do scheduled feedings instead of free feeding.

well I'm sure if they had such a contraption it would be outrageously
expensive...why not make feeding times? Put the 1st cat in a room with his
food dish and let him eat...then take him and the food out and put the
second cat in there with there food. It may take patience but it would work.
Why do they need separate feedings? Is it that they don't get along or is it
that they eat different food?
