![]() Moving onto more low-tech (and cheaper!) solutions, my third way to feed multiple cats works when your cats are different sizes. I have had a Sureflap microchip cat flap for about 7 years and have written a review here Create a small entrance Only those cats programmed to go through the cat door will be able to access the inside of the crate and eat the food you put there. ![]() If you don’t have a separate room to food cats in, or don’t want to put a cat door in your house, you could instead use the microchip cat door attached to a large pet crate. Just one mouthful in the case of allergic skin disease or hyperthyroidism can be enough to make the diet ineffective so this strategy can really help prevent this being a concern. It will mean that your unwell cat will not be able to eat “normal” food. By and large they are designed to be complete diets suitable for all adult cats - you should be careful if you have a kitten however. This is highly unlikely to cause them any kind of health problem. This would of course allow all your cats to eat the prescription diet. You could for example only allow your healthy cats into the laundry to eat normal food and have the prescription diet down in the kitchen. Microchip Cat FlapĪ slightly cheaper, but equally effective way to feed multiple cats differently is to use a microchip cat flap (or magnetic cat door) to control which cats can enter a certain room. ![]() If they are not allowed to eat from that bowl then the cover will remain closed. When your cat tries to ear from the bowl, their chip is scanned and if they are allowed to eat from that bowl the covers will open automatically. While it is best if your cat is microchipped, there are also collar tags that can be used instead. This is the most expensive option but also probably the simplest and most reliable depending on your lifestyle and your cats eating habits.Īn automatic microchip cat feeder will only open and allow a cat to eat that has the microchip that has been programmed into the unit. My first way to feed multiple cats different diets or control how much each cat eats is to use an automatic microchip cat feeder ( check them out on amazon here).
