How do you change your cat's diet from free feeding to a feeding schedule?

First you fill the bowl with food. When the cat is satisfied with the amount he or she has eaten, it will walk away. That's when you remove the bowl... Just put it up somewhere that the cat can't get to... In a few hours, see if the cat wants any more. Form the time to your liking, or whatever you feel is best for the cat.

There are two ways I can think of:You can buy special diet food specifically for overweight cats. Note that many "diet" or "light" foods have a high amount of grains and cereals in, which can cause more weight gain.If you do not want to give your cats diet food, try feeding them a little less everyday. Be careful not to suddenly drop the amount of food given to them, slowly reduce the amount of food you give to your cats in one to two weeks so that your cat does not get too hungry in the middle of the day.Also if your cats do not eat all their food when you start the diet, pick up the bowl immediately after they stop eating so they learn that they have to eat their food when it is given to them. This helps you regulate their diet, and it also puts them on a feeding clock. Try to keep feeding times constant everyday so that their body clock does not get messed up.

No, a neutered cat does not need a special diet. A cat, whether it has its reproductive organs or not, still has the same nutritional requirements. All cats are obligate carnivores. A change in diet isn't necessary. Most cats, especially ones that have been neutered before or around 6 months old, do not become overweight prior to the procedure. Keep feeding the cat's normal food, and keep an eye on his weight, and if needed, adjust the amount of food being fed accordingly.
