Jasper & Doris eat too much. So, I've been trying everything possible to curb this. Not an easy task either! If their bowl was empty there was nothing they wouldn't do to get my attention to get that bowl filled. Especially if I was still sleeping the meows would be incessant along with any clever noise making attempts, like whapping my calender against the wall(thwhap, thwhap) & pawing at my Ikea laundry bag(crinkle, crinkle, crunch).
My first attempt at curbing their voracious hunger was to change their bowl. I bought Stimulo interactive feeder by Aikiou. I found mine on Fab.com a few years ago.

But they figured it out and were found pulling the food out by giant paw fulls onto the floor and then hoovering in the food. Damn it, these kitties are too smart!
After doing some research on better foods I decided to make the switch to Castor & Pollux Ultramix. Castor & Pollux is an organic pet food company out of Oregon. I was able to order the food online at wag.com and get it shipped for free, which is awesome for a girl stuck on an island!
This food is formulated to give nothing but good nutrition to my kids instead of allllll the fillers that other cat foods have which tend to leave them still feeling hungry and gaining weight. I've noticed since we did the switch that they are more active and begging for food less! So fingers crossed they might drop some pounds from their fluffy bellies too!
