How will my existing cat react to a new kitten that might eat his food?
Separate food bowls are essential – as well as litter facilities. If you are leaving food down all day then how about automatic feeding bowls which you can programme to open at certain times of the day? You could get a couple and put them in separate places. As long as the dry food you use is really good quality and not the rubbish you buy over the counter (it should not contain grains/fillers/cereals) then you could leave a couple of bowls of dry around (along with plenty of water bowls) so there is always something for the cats to graze on. In the wild a cat will normally only eat a small amount, cover it up and go back for more later which is exactly what Thomson is doing. Cats tend to regulate their own food intake and rarely overeat. The main part of their diet should be good quality wet food.
