We have one cat that will eat every time he sees food, no matter what. This is our 14 yo cat that, at one point, was 22 lbs and is now a svelte 15 lbs. We have one cat that will take all day to eat his food. We feed him in the garage but he's not in there all the time so he goes in and out and eats off and on. Now we have the kitten who should really get unlimited dry food but if I do that, the old cat will eat it all up. How do you feed if you have multiple cats and one or more is a pig?
Once our middle cat is used to the kitten we can probably feed both in the garage but right now he doesn't like him at all. And since the garage is his "place" for eating and sleeping I don't want to force a kitten on him.

We have 4 indoor cats, one of who is a glutton like you describe. We keep a large bowl of dry food available at all times -- much more than he can eat. When we do canned food, each one gets their own plate. Sometimes we will stay with them and take the glutton out of the room when he is done, to make sure he does not run everyone off and take theirs. He has gotten better. The orange cat is the most timid when it comes to eating and won't push his way into someone else's plate. He will let someone take his. He knows we put his plate aside in the corner, and he will sit there and wait while we put the other plates down until we get to him, because he knows he will get his there.

I'm cat sitting for a friends 2 cats along with my own( who used to be hers) this month, and one of them is a piggy like you describe, and to top it off she eats too much, then vomits. Then is starving again. My cat has learned to eat when she does, but the 3rd one could care less about eating. I monitor feedings and since the eater can't jump well, I put a bowl full in the window sill and the other two can graze on it, but they haven't totally figured out that it's there.
It's wearing me out! :-)
