A way to limit the eating of a fat cat in multiple cat household while allowing full access food for others?

I didn’t mean that I was going to eat the fat cat, I meant that I need to limit the ability of the fat cat to eat his own limited food. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Now that I’ve figured why that guy called me a “sicko”, I don’t feel insulted. I find that misunderstanding very funny!

Put the food in a box with a hole too small for the fat cat.

Either segregate the fat cat or only feed at specific times each day.

whew! now that i’ve reread this i realize you do not intend to eat the cat! feed them in separate rooms. the fat cat can get a travel portion control feeder!

without seperating the cat at feeding time, this really isnt possible.
cats tend to snack a little if theres enough food available, so i suggest feeding all the cats smaller meals more regularly.
then you can regulate the amount all the cats eat.
then seperate the fat cat (shut them in a bathroom or similar) with their own low fat or smaller portion to eat. this should only take a few minutes for them to finish a small portion.
also consider swapping all the cats to a lower fat intake diet. it will not cause any trouble for the healthier cats but may be effective in reducing the weight of the fat cat.

I don’t remeber which brand it is, but there are types of cat food specifically designed to help fat cats loose weight and skinny cats gain weight. (I think it might be Iams or Pedigree… maybe Purina?)

can the fat cat jump up on as high a surface as the others? if not place food up higher so fat cat can’t get to it. then take her into another room, like bath room, shut her in with her food so other cats can’t get to her. this way you can control how often and how much fat cat eats. that’s what i a have to do with mine.

The only way I have been able to do it is to stop free feeding and go to set meal times. I then feed the overweight cat light food on it’s own seperated from the others. I have used a big puppy pen for this before. The big cat get’s it’s food first in the big pen then the others are fed. She then eats and waits in the pen while the others finish eating and the food is taken up.
It is super hard to manage weight issues in a multi cat household so I wish you the best of luck. Getting the fat kitties weight down is so much better for their health but hard!!

If you do free feeding where there is food out all of the time – If the fat cat is too fat to climb well, put all of the other cats regular food up high – maybe on top of the fridge, something like that. And just leave the fat-cat diet food on the ground where he can reach it.
If you do limited feeding where you feed them, they eat it all right away – just seperate them during meal time.

We’ve done just feeding at set times – each cat gets a set amount, obviously the “tubby” one gets less.
Hope that helps … find a way to exercise the over-weight cat. They need extra exercise just as people do.

NO cat should have food left out all day long. Just like humans, cats can eat out of boredom. Stop leaving the food out and switch to feeding all of them twice a day. And if you’re feeding your cats a low quality dry food – which are made mostly of corn – then switch to a food with MEAT as the main ingredient or, better yet, to canned food.
LOL people – I must be tired because I understood what was being asked. But now that I reread it it did look like he was asking about “eating of a fat cat” ha ha

I have this problem too. I have to put the food out for an hour three times a day. This is the only way I’ve been able to limit my fat cats intake. If I feed them on a schedule they beg for food randomly throughout the day, especially the fat one, and then when he actually gets his food he eats it very fast and then tries to move on to the other bowls. I keep him from getting any of the rest but then from eating so fast he ends up puking up his food anyways. The other kitties do this too b/c they don’t want him eating their food. So I fill the bowls with about a cup each and put the dishes down for about an hour or two and he has learned that he has time to eat and has slowed down along with the others.
Hope you can find a solution that works for you and your kitties!
Good luck.

how to train a cat
It is going to require effort on your part. And you’re not going to be able to free-feed – keep the bowls full.
You’ll have to set amounts for each cat to eat and give them only that much. Anything left behind should be removed so Fatty can’t get to it.
Unless you plan to keep them separated all day long, there’s just no other way to do this.
This is the downside to having more than one cat!
