| did you try feeding them in seperate rooms? I feed Jager (my cat whos bigger also..lol) and Lady at the same time but I feed Lady in her crate, this way everyone can eat their own food. |

| hello yes, but she doesnt seem interested, she sniffs at it and walks away. so i feed her on the setee. i do then put her food on the floor to see if she finishes it off, but no. they all get on together, its just that the cats are greedy little things. x |

| when I first got Lady she always gave me a hard time eating. Then I switched over to Nutromax Puppy wet and dry. Did you try switching her food? |

| I know some brands of dog food make the dry food in smaller pieces like the puppy food. I haven't gotten to that stage yet, Lady is still a puppy. Im sure if you did a search on here about food you'll find lots of post about recommendations of the different types of food you can try. And everyone on here is soo helpful when you need advise. |
