This has been helpful info. I just recently put my 2 on a schedule. They each get 1/4 cup at 5 am (I know....EARLY) and 1/4 cup each at 5ish pm. What they don't eat in the a.m. I take away and then add the 1/4 cup to it at night. So far, they continue to leave some at both meals.
I mainly did it because I was tired of keeping my dogs out of the cat bowl and vice versa. I think one morning I am going to put the cat's food in the dog bowl and the dogs' food in the cat bowl. I bet they would then eat their "own" food!
