    I have this problem. One cat is food obsessed, the other is a picky eater and very active. Trying to coordinate their food is hard because the picky eater is a grazer he doesn’t like to eat his food in large amounts. And there’s the picky eating part, coaxing and treats then the other one is jealous. It can be exhausting!

      Surefeed pet feeder is your solution. Stupidly expensive for what it does, but it works. The feeder opens only to the microchip of the cat it has been programmed for.

        I would not be surprised if my chonker baby figured that out and waited until the old lady had hers dispensed then bullied her out of the way. Anyone have tips for preventing that?

      My cats are fed in separate rooms for the same reason. I put a little collar activated flap on one door so the picky one could eat without my youngin sniping her food. He’s still trying to figure out how to get in that room, I’m a little surprised he hasn’t tried to brute force it yet lol
