How do I feed multiple cats and stop one from eating others' food?
This can be a challenging situation, especially if you have one cat that's more of an "eater" than the others. I would try to offer canned food for one meal, and dry for another. For the canned meal, you can put it out into separate bowls, ensure that everyone has their own bowl, and monitor the situation until they finish. Most cats will go ahead and finish a portion of canned food, unlike dry, which they will often "snack" on. You can also reinforce the "ownership" of each cat's bowl by calling them, and then feeding that cat only in that bowl (and consequentially, in that space) at all times. That way, you're teaching them that they will get fed at "their" bowl at all times. Interlopers onto other bowls should be discouraged and redirected back to their own bowl. Finally, if you're up for spending some money, there is an [automatic feeder](https://www.surepetcare.com/en-us/pet-feeder/microchip-pet-feeder) that opens only for a signal from your pet's microchip. This can become

Why are pets obese? Does free-feeding cause it? How to prevent it and smart feeders?
Hi Stella! I would be glad to answer your questions :-) Pets can be obese for a couple of reasons. One reason can be free-feeding, but it also be due to a lack of exercise, and feeding your pet lots of human food and treats. It's not recommended to feed your pet human food unless for a specific medical reason (i.e. boiled white meat chicken with no bones for GI upset) because it adds extra calories to their diet which they don't need. Also, many human foods are toxic to dogs and cats. It's not recommended to free fed dogs, they should get two meals a day. As for cats, cats tend to be grazers, some people do leave food out all day for them to eat their leisure. This is fine to do with cats who are a healthy weight, and you can switch to scheduled feeding if they are obese. It is true free feeding can lead to obesity, but you can manage this with cats by not leaving a huge amount of food out all the time. You can measure out their daily amount, and they can eat at their leisure

My cat keeps waking me up at 3 AM for food. What should I do?
Try using an automatic feeder. You can set the times to feed Rufus and Rufus may start to disassociate you from the feeding. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

How do I stop my cat from waking me up at 5 AM for breakfast?
Hi there. This is a common problem in cats. I would recommend using a timed automatic feeder to give him breakfast in the morning, so that you're not personally involved in the process - that way, there's no point in waking you up. Here's an example of one that would work well for this purpose: https://fulcromarket.com/products/automatic-pet-feeder?variant=19256144166974&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping I would also recommend closing your bedroom door to keep Pepper out of your room at night, until the new feeding routine is established.

My cat eats slow. How to stop other cat from stealing her food?
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!
