i have oscar on a schedule kind of like feeding a new baby. it works out so much better for us if we stay on sort of a schedule for him. i do leave a small amount of dry food out...but he doesnt eat this 99% of them time. i just like to have it available in case he needs it. i feel like the more comfortable i make him with the food schedule the better his body will function. just like in humans.. if we allow ourselves to be regulated...everything including our digestive system will appreciate it. i home make his food so he knows that when he sees me warming something up in the microwave... hes about to get his meal...his going potty schedule has followed in line with his eating schedule too..which saves my carpet and my nerves from trying to make sure hes not going somewhere hes not suppose to!
