    I did that with mine, and they made themselves fat. The vet basically made me start feeding them regular meals instead so they’d lose some weight. But I’ve had other cats before that were fine with just having food out.

      We have two cats. Each about 14 pounds. A little overweight, but not so much that the vet is concerned.

      Both get 70 grams of food a day. One gets fed once a day right before bed. His food is left out, out of reach of the other cat. The second cat gets fed at various times throughout the day. Her food bowl is put up when it’s not a mealtime.

      So far, neither of them are waking us up at night lol
