I wanna try an experiment but I’d also like others experience here.

I’ve noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

    You should consider wet food instead, it’s much better for cats.

    For the gulpers you can get bowls that are complicated to slow them down.

      Note those complicated bowls may result in your cat being noticeably more disagreeable than before, from experience. My guy hates that damned bowl with such a passion it’s funny to watch him try and figure out how to destroy it so he doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.

          He is a used cat, no idea how he grew up so not sure what caused it, but he is quite aggressive with food. He eats so quickly when using a normal bowl that he sometimes will even throw it right back up.

          There is a clear difference in his demeanor when he gets fed with a bowl that forces him to eat slower. Not quite angry, but he clearly hates it and his demeanor shows it. He is not a happy kitty when he eats from those bowls.

      This is weird, I’ve heard the opposite that dry food is better. Lord help me I’m goin on a Google fest.

        We feed our 2 twice a day. First is dry and the second is wet. Before wet food our cats had really bad shedding and one of them developed a clump on his back that wouldn’t go away. After adding wet in daily it’s gone, their shedding is way down, and their coats are silky smooth. Plus one has lost weight and is more fit.

        Cats don’t really drink enough water and are frequently bordering on a state of dehydration. Pretty much everywhere will recommend wet over dry.

      We used to exclusively use dry food until one of our cats had crystals form in their urethra which lead to a blockage and a very expensive emergency surgery. We tried the expensive prescription dry food for a while (it just makes them drink more water so their urine isn’t so concentrated) but wound up ditching it for an exclusive wet food diet. Since then, they’ve had zero issues.
