Having a constant supply of dry food is not good. It's handy to have a brother because you can split food! :) Daisy – That’s a good point about removing food, especially wet food because after a while it gets icky anyway.

After we switched to a holistic vet when we got Harley, we are on a new feeding schedule. We split 1 can of cat food in the morning; what's not eaten within 30 minutes gets removed. The vet said that having food out all day long stimulating our senses is not good for us. Then, at night, we split another can of cat food. We also get a very small amount (1/3 cup) of dry food that we get to snack on throughout the evening. Usually the amount to feed is written right on the label, too!

Treats are good ... just in moderation, haha. Puddy would attack me in my sleep if she didn't get her regular dose of Temptations! :P Mooiness - I love Animal Precinct and there's a few others too - really opened my eyes, I couldn't believe that sort of stuff was happening. I mean, starving your pets? It's so sad. Kelly - I think that's the key - they think they are being kind, giving them treats and making sure they aren't hungry. I think it comes down to not being educated properly about how to care for an animal. :( The Bunns – Oh no, hopefully your treats don’t get hidden from you!

It makes me so angry - it's no different to an animal which is being starved, it's horrible, painful, and cruel. And I'm a big fan of the US's animal cruelty laws, where you can go to jail for this stuff. A life's a life, ya know? Use some brains. Bring on the animal tv!

Makes me angry too. Grr.
