Thus the "thicc".

Don't mix up my cat with my dog. Both will feel offended

I had a cat which had to be portion controlled due to its weight, but the vet said to feed them small amounts multiple time a day - including while I was at work, so I didn't really have a choice. I still fed her wet food in the morning and at night since the auto-feeder could only handle dry.

I really agree. My dogs always wait until we are all home before they’ll eat, and if we’re not in the right room they’ll come find us and bring us out. It’s a ritual for them.
