My cats will not eat this by itself. I give them a 1/4 teaspoon in their wet food. They get about two tablespoons of wet food. I'm not sure how it mixes with dry food. Is having separate bowls an option for wet food?

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

I gathered your cats are eating it then. Yes good for the heart although I starting using it for the Omega 3 benefits for the skin. It is suppose to be good for skin as well. It doesn't have as much omega then other brands, but she is eating this one. I do hope your cats do well on this. Good luck and keep a close eye on the murmur.

On the back of the package is the daily intake: 10-12 lbs. is 3/4 tsp for one cat. However, for 2 cats sharing the same bowl, I would contact my vet.

depends on if you are measuring the top part or the bottom. The bottom is a hair bigger then the top. Also, the sides are slightly rounded which causes different measurements depending on where you measure. I will just say its not enough for 2 normal size cats.

I have a dominate cat who usually forces his way to the bowl. The second cat usually will walk away. We've had the feeder for about a month or so. For me I don't see this as a problem and since they have to lower their heads into the bowl. Only one cat will fit. It right away registers the second cat even if the first was already there eating. Both of my cats are on diets so they both have gotten used to it closing on them. I now find that the more dominate cat will now wait his turn (Something he never used to do) knowing it may it may not close on him. I think he waits to see if it will close on her also. :-) I have a dominate cat who usually forces his way to the bowl. The second cat usually will walk away.

I'm sorry, I really have no idea. I do have two cats, but I have no reason to try this with them. I suppose it would if the bowl you're using is small enough that they really have to work at getting around the device to get at the food. I'm sorry I can't be of any help with this question!

Well, I always use a little red cup to scoop food and water. I only give them one scoop of each so they don't over eat. It fits for my two cats and lasts all day. They are small food bowls but just right for their portions.

Like Lisa says, it's about the size of a 'people-size' can of tuna. I usually give my 2 kitties the 'pate' variety since there seems to be more food in the can-there's no gravy. Sometimes they get finicky with flavors but they still eat and seem to enjoy the food-they're certainly NOT underweight.

No - and you only use a pinch for cats. Mix it up in wet food. Or you could just give them a little yogart.

I don't remember how they were sized. I got two "large" and two "extra-large" pans and prefer the larger of the two sizes. Check as to how they are sized and go with the larger one if space permits. Since you have 2 cats, would highly recommend 2 or preferably 3 pans to avoid "issues". If space is the problem, 3 smaller pans would be preferable to 2 larger pans. (I'm a veterinarian for felines and deal with this every day).

I know it's fine for a couple days for my one cat, but two cats it may not be enough. The problem are the holes on the side won't allow you to fill it too high. Another problem is if it's too full of food the cats can get to it easier/faster, which defeats the purpose of the bowl. If you bought two bowls then that would be perfect. I also found plastic versions that are cheaper, but they could be overturned/moved around easily.

Just One Bowl. They Are Pretty Small Also. Good For A Cat Or Small Dog. The Bowl Was Too Small For My 8wk Old Puppy �

The feeder bowl is definitely big enough to feed 2 cats at once...the real question is: Will the 2 cats use it that way?

If you want to, you could buy another one and take out all of the small pieces from both sets. Just keep the small pieces and give it to them when they are a little bit older. That is way they can have their own set of food

How much do they weigh apiece? My cats are 6-8 lbs each. For a short trip to the vet, 2 can fit.

I use two feeders, even though each cat only gets 1/3 c of food each meal, because Dragon puts his big dumb head in front of the opening and will park there until all the food is eaten, no matter how many servings. (Or he just breaks the top off, and then eats all the food from all the compartments if he is feeling feisty)

I have 3 cats it lasted about 3 days so with just 1 it would be feasible but it would likely be a bit close. I would like to say 2 bowls should be fine but i dont know the losses due to evaporation vs the cats. When i had to leave for a few days i just put out a second bowl. The biggest problem i could see with this bowl is the top is larger than the base and cats can easily spill it. I had to place mine in the packing styrofoam to deal with that issue. There are some fountains with larger reservoir options available as well.

Probably small. My cat is 7.1 lbs but she could pull some of the tips off. So I kept replacing them. I finally just took her to vet. Maybe your cat isn't a sweet and sour spoild cat like mine. Good luck.

To be honest, you should never feed more than one dog from the same bowl. Too hard to monitor how much each pet is eating. And even friendly dogs can get defensive of their food.
