How can you stop your older cat from eating your new kitten's food?

Answer 1

Ration his/her food. Only give her a certain amount of food per day/time. Instead of giving your cat one big meal everyday, start giving him/her a few small snack-sized meals a day. Create a schedule of when you feed your cat everyday.

Answer 2

well, i own a dog, but i guess it can be the same technique, try flipping the pet bowl upside down so that the food goes in between the actual bowl and the rim part., it's space is a bit small for a full mouth to, and big enough to reach the food. but it all depends on what kind of food bowl you have.

And the other one, you can probably separate the food bowls right?

Answer 3

Feed the animals at set intervals during the day, and remove the bowls after feeding so either animals will not be able to eat each other's food. Alternatively, just feed the cat and dog in separate rooms, where the cat will not be able to reach the dog's food.

When my cats have had litters , we always fed the mum and babies at the same times from different bowls. Try occupying the mum whilst kittens are eating , if the mother cat is still nursing she needs alot of High quality ( kitten or special food for mummy cats , baby cat by royal canin is really good) . If the mum goes out for a few minuets for the toilet feed the kittens then. With my cat we always left food down so the kittens and mum could always have food and never be hungry ( unless you have a cat that polishes of the bowl , this may result in a chubby cat) .When ever the mum is away for a couple minuets put the kittens food down and let them have a snack. Hope I helped :)

Answer 5

The only way to stop an older cat from eating a kitten's food is to feed the kitten away from the older cat, and to make sure the older cat cannot get into the same room.
