Michico : Actually in my house, there is no "eating time", I usually put the food at there let Adan & Lego eat whenever they want to eat. But, I realize Lego is the cat who eat all immediately, like, if I put 20g dry food, he eats all in 3 mins, if I put 100g dry food, he eats all in 5~6 mins, he never left. But Adan only eat a little, and go to sleep or doing something else, and back to eat when he wants to, so Adan finish 20g could be spent hours. And while Lego finish his food, he will find other food, like Adan's bowl, so, he eats all the food in house even Adan's, so Adan is getting thinner and thinnger, because while Adan wants to eat something, there is nothing left, because Lego eats them all.

So, I usually use a big bowl cover up Adan's food bowl, while Adan wants to eat, he finds me and I open the bowl to let him eat, but what happened while I am at office, actually I have no idea, I guess Adan always hungry. Actually Lego eat 3~4 more bowls them Adan's but he still wants Adan's food, now he is able to open the cover big bowl on Adan's food bowl to eat, what happened to Lego?

Sometimes I even use this big water cup cover on the cover big bowl, let Lego won't able to open it, but still, Lego push the bowl from the room to the living room.

When I back home, the bowl even push to outside, Lego will give up when he doesn't have any strength now, if that water cup didn't up there, the bowl even will push under the sofa, just because Lego wants to eat.

Why I am so sure that Lego push the bowl? Because I usually wake up by the pushing noise at the middle of night, and I turn on the light, I can see Lego push the bowl, and Adan is sleeping....

What should I do? I thought about buy the timer feeding machine, but Arion thinks Lego will wait in front of the machine all day, when the foods comes out, he will finish it immediately, the machine still won't work, I really don't know what to do with this fat boy.... hmmmm...... And Adan still hungry at day light, now he knows he has to eat more at night while I am home, I feel really guilty... By the way, if I close the door let Adan has his own room won't let him out, Adan will be angry and pee on the desk...

Poor Adan. He is used to being an only cat and is used to eating when he wants . He can no longer do that with Lego. You may have to put Adan in a room by himself when he eats, if possible. Mickey does not always eat his food right away ,but he has his own room.
Good luck.

真是的...樂高你也太愛吃了吧...
你應該要知道就算你把哥哥的飯吃光光,
打架還是哥哥會贏啦!所以不要用這種招啦!
It is too bad that Lego likes to eat so much more than Adan. I used to eat so much more than Georgia, but now that it's just me and Gemini, I am so used to be shoed away from the bowl that now I have to eat on my own or I do not eat enough...

Maybe mix some shredded carrot into Lego's food they suggest. I also read that add some canned food so that Adan can pick off of that and Lego can eat, but give Lego less of the dry food.
Hard problem. I will research.
I really don't know the answer to this. If there were someone there to feed Adan when he is hungry, you could just put his food away and let him tell you when he is hungry, but since you are away, that wouldn't work.
I have 2 cats now and they eat different food (one has food allergies), so when I feed them, I watch them. I take it away when they're done, put it on the kitchen counter, and then offer it when I see they want to eat it. That means I can't leave the food available all the time or else the small one will eat everything!
They will be okay if you're gone to work for the day. It is so much trouble, I know, but like your cats, if I leave food available all the time, the small one will eat it all and leave nothing for Tofu! Good luck!
If you give them wet food when you are there to supervise, maybe Adan will stay and eat more. As he is older, the dry food may be uncomfortable for his mouth. As somebody else said, if you can feed them twice a day while you are there to watch, and let Adan ask for more in the evening if he is still hungry.
Moist food is probably better for Adan's bladder problems anyway.
My brother Tommy looks at lot like Lego...and he eats almost as fast as Lego. What our mom does is to feed us in the morning soft food before work and in the evening more soft food. She feeds us in separate rooms and monitors that we have finished.
During the day she leaves crunchy kibble in different bowls around the house.
Poor Adan! Banshee is a bit of a pig too. She shares the dry food alright but hogs the wet. The PM has to put Goldie in the bathroom with the door closed so he can eat in peace.
Harley is a big food-hog, too! Our holistic vet said it is not best to leave food out all day to stimulate our noses and tummies. He told us to feed once in the morning and once at night. Anything not eaten in 30 minutes should be picked up and put away.
Yup, that sounds like Toy!.......We also are fed Merrick canned food in the morning and evening. We only get dry food in small amounts in the afternoon and before bed. Toy is happy with this knowing he will be offered food several times a day so he doesn't have to fill his tummy up like a squirrel getting ready for the winter! Dry food has a high salt and sugar content, also it has high carbs so it can be molded into hard pieces. At least 30% or more carbs but cats should only have 3% or less. Mom had a diabetic cat in the past and he also was addicted to the salty, sweet taste of dry food. Mom used to feed her past cats Tendervittles and there was no overeating. Dry food is cheaper than canned but it costs big bucks if a kitty becomes over weight and diabetic....it was to late for Minty...he died of a diabetic siezure.
Aw, poor Adan! Lego is a piggy~boy. Maybe just feed them at certain times of the day while under snoopervision.
There are automatic food bowls where you can program a time and they open automatically. That could be a solution to your problem, but perhaps Lego is quicker in getting to that open bowl..
Our mummy said no more all-day buffet bec I eat my share of food and my sister's & I'm R-O-U-N-D. We are now fed twice daily (morning and evening) in separate rooms. We are learning to eat properly; sis at one sitting and me, what's on my plate. If sis does not finish her food, she goes hungry & wld eat more at next meal. Me? I'm always hungry ;)
我家因為歐將要減肥
前一陣子大家就一起吃減肥乾乾
沒想到
歐將沒瘦到
卻是瘦到黃莎糖
因為!!莎糖每次都只吃一些些
餓了才想回頭再吃
但有他貪吃鬼黃小林老弟清碗盤
哪裡還會有剩
所以糖糖吃得都很少
再加上是減肥乾乾
果然...瘦了
現在我改了
放飯時看著他們吃
三喵依然吃減肥乾乾
只有糖糖吃一般乾乾
而且我盯著他吃完
免得被小林大頭擠掉
希望過一陣子體重會回來
