| Jan 31 at 15:26 | comment | added | Allison C | @keshlam free feeding and steroids is not going to be a good combination; as I mentioned in my previous comment, steroids cause "munchies"--they create an increased appetite response in the subject (feline and human). A cat being treated with steroids will absolutely overeat. | |
| Jan 31 at 0:24 | comment | added | keshlam | This is one reason my cats gave always been self-feeding. That can't be done with all cats, some (especially food-insecure ex-ferals) will overeat given the opportunity.... But it means the cat knows that pestering me does not cause food to appear That doesn't mean she won't pester me about other things, of course. And sometimes she seems to yowl just because she likes the echoes. "I will sing you a song of my people...." | |
| Jan 30 at 21:32 | comment | converted from answer | Ann Slatkiewicz | Thank you for the suggestions. I only have one cat on Prednisilone which is the one who feels as if he never fed.He eats both wet (twice daily) and dry which is left to eat whenever. I did have a slow feeder which for whatever reason we dispensed with but now that you mention it in the comment above, may go back to. My problem is I believe the cat on the medication is probably eating more then his brother. Any other suggestions for that issue. | |
