| Need some suggestions So my cat Zoey is 15 yrs old and has been diagnosed with kidney failure. Thankfully she is not in any pain but she is slowly deteriorating. She is not as agile as she used to be. My dilemma is where to put her food dish so that she can get to it. For the last 7 yrs I had her food bowl up high to prevent the dogs from eating her food but now that she is having trouble jumping up I don't know where to put it so that Dutch can't get to it. She can't really jump up high anymore and Dutch can practically jump up on everything that Zoey can now that she can't jump up too high anymore. How do I train Dutch not to eat out of the cat's food dish? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I had the same dilemma w/ my late cat too (RIP sweet girl Einstein!). She lived many years w/ failing kidneys, btw, so you may still have lots of years ahead of you . What I did was I bought a closet/door stopper and stopped open the door to a closet where only she could get through the crack and to the food.

| That's a great idea! I am going to try that. I have been lifting her up to her food dish and then waiting until she is finished that helping her down. Thanks for the great suggestion. YT does it again! |
