How do I keep one of my cats from eating all the other cat’s food?
Sweet Susie asked:
I have two great cats. My first cat is hugely obese — 15 pounds. We are doing everything we can to help her lose weight: diet food, vet recommended serving sizes, and exercise. Nothing is working because she is literally sabotaging our efforts. She eats her food AND at least half of our other (skinny) cat’s dinner. In a sense, she is eating for 1 and a 1/2.

How do I teach/train her to only eat out of her bowl? How do help her lose weight so she can live a healthy cat-life?
Thank you so far for all the great answers. I just wanted to add the detail that I serve my cat’s dry food and we never provide scraps from the table

Cats in two seperate rooms while their eating would say just cut down on how much the cat eats and find.

The other cats are done eating.

I ran into this.
What you are going to have to do is set a feeding schedule, and feed them separately. Close the overweight cat away while the other is eating, so the other cat can eat in peace. And when feeding time is over, take up the food.
Good luck!

For the easiest way is to feed them in seperate places when its treat time one will gobble.
