I bought a slow feeder from the pet store to slow down my cat's eating but she is barely eating and she will walk away from the dish. I don't know what to do if I go back to feeding her like I was she will gorge on her food and then throw it up. How
It may just take some time for Pumpkin to get used to the feeder. Some cats also don't like having their whiskers touch the sides of the bowl, so getting a larger sized bowl may also help. If she refuses to use it at all, feeding smaller, more frequent meals in a regular bowl can help her get enough to eat without eating too much and vomiting after a meal.

For my other cat Luna, as soon as her food opens (automatic feeder) she finishes it all right away, but for Mina she only eats a bit at a time and takes almost the whole day to finish it. Right now their food is in different rooms and I monitor them
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It is difficult to change a cat’s eating preferences; there are a couple of options to try, however. There are automatic feeders that are triggered to be open by a specific tag on the collar; this way, Mina could come and go as she pleases and only her collar would open the feeder. Another option, if she likes wet food, is to feed her a larger portion of wet food that she will eat right away. If these options don’t work, I would recommend reaching out to your regular veterinarian for more options. Good luck!

My cat eats her food really fast and drinks water extremely fast then goes and throws up. If I give her a small treat she will scarf it down and then goes and throws up. Every time she does this it's the morning and she will throw up more than once.
A slow feeding bowl may work, however another suggestion is to offer smaller, more frequent meals, including one just before bed at night. If she's vomiting only after eating in the morning, she could be going too long between meals which leads to a build up of acid, the scarfing up of food, and then the vomiting. Offering a smaller portioned meal at night so she has something in her stomach at all times may help as well.

I am planning on going on a trip for the whole day tomorrow. I am planning on leaving my 6 month old kitty by herself with a whole bowl of food and water. The problem is that she doesn't know how to stop eating! She will eat the whole bowl if i left
Do you have time to run out to a pet store and get a timed feeding bowl? This will release a specific amount of food at set times, and will keep Nala from overeating. You can also put her food into a muffin tin, dividing it equally among the 12 tins. This will also force her to slow down eating and may allow her to get full quicker. Check to see if you can get the timed feeding bowl first. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hi, I have two young cats, both around 9 months old, when I first got them I never had a problem with them urinating outside of their litter box, but recently one or both of them (not sure which one) has started urinating all over their food mat and
There are a large number of reasons that a cat will inappropriately urinate (urinate outside the litter box). I am attaching a handout below which discusses this in detail. https://www.vin.com/veterinarypartner/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951508 The first step in figuring out why a cat is urinating outside the litter box is to have your veterinarian do an examination and get a urine sample to evaluate for a medical reason. This is a little challenging since you're not sure which cat is doing it. There are some options to determine which cat is the problem, so it is worth speaking to your vet about that or you can get urine samples on both cats. If that is normal, then we need to look at other possibilities. The handout above discusses litter box issues that can play a role. Make sure you have at least 3 litter boxes (since the "correct" number of boxes is the number of cats plus one), they are not covered or lined, and are cleaned daily.
