Here's trouble...

Scouty and Silver are fed Science Diet Lite kibble to try and keep
their ever-growing tummies under control. I sprinkle on a little bit
of kit-n-kaboodle in each bowl to make it a little more interesting
(mainly because we fed the neighbours cat for a few weeks and they
said 'keep the rest of the bag' and I hate to waste it). They're not
thrilled about this diet and they eat a LOT less than they used to
when they were getting regular SD or SD and Diet half and half...

Tessie on the other hand is a growing kitten and she needs all the
food energy she can get, so we give her Science Diet kitten food and I
keep her feeder up on top of my dresser so that the other two don't
scarf it down.

Since I started this regimen, Silver and Scouty have been staring at
Tessie whenever she goes to eat, and this morning Silver figured it
out. I heard a loud thump and scrabble, and turned around to see her
sitting on the shelf that serves as the halfway point to the
dresser... she put a paw onto the book Tessie uses as a 'step' but
it's too light and it folded instead of holding her weight. So she
looked at it a little more and then said 'I don't need no step!' and
she jumped straight up onto the dresser and started chowing down. I
told her off and she turned around and jumped down... alas, now she
knows how to get to the Good Stuff and she was up there again a minute
ago, with much less scrabbling to get there! Argh... She's smarter

Monique Y. Mudama...

Can you put Tessie in a separate room for mealtimes?

than she looks!

Thank God kittens and puppies really don't need baby food for much more than
the first six months unless they are small or got off to a poor start.
Feeding different cats separately is a big challenge.

Actually the need it for a year.

Kayla is definitely trying to figure out how to help herself to the cat food
on the kitchen counter. It she succeeds, the bowl will shatter, so she may
only try it once. We do keep it midpoint between the front and back edge of
the counter, but Kayla is also considering the leap from the back of the
sofa that would give her the run of the entire counter.

God grant me patience while she is still cutting teeth.

We've got a temporary solution but I don't think it's a very good
one... I tipped her food out of the fancy feeder and put the diet
kibble into it, and I put Tessie's food into a plastic bowl instead,
and I put that up on the second tier of the cat tree. John said I
should put it on the top one but I'm not tall enough to see it there
so I wouldn't know when it needed refilling! Tessie's been up there to
eat from it twice... but this evening she put her paws up and then got
down again like she wasn't sure how to climb up. I lifted her up there
myself and she ate a ton of kibble and then jumped down. I think the
little beggar wants room service!
