Food question

Seth on Health - Wed, August 20 2008

I am staying at my Nana's house this week and she has a kitty who eats Iams. Since I am on special urinary food, Iams is quite a treat and I can't stop eating it, even though when I do, I throw up : (

What can my Nan do to prevent me from eating the wrong food? If anyting? I also don't want to run into more urinary problems because that was absolutely no fun at all!

Since Patches gets food variety "a" (low fat/cal), Charlie gets variety "b" (fickle senior food) and the rest get a mix of "a" plus "c" (regular food)... I feed them all in separate spots and watch them like a hawk to make sure no one switches bowls. Then as each walks away, I pick the bowls back up -- offering them their bowls from time to time over an hour or so, then food time is OVER.

Done.

No more food until the next feeding time (they're fed twice a day).

PITA? Yep! But seems to be the only way to be sure that each cat is getting the food they need.
