Pet Feeding Schedule

Tips? Suggestions?

We have been trying to get our cats used to eating twice a day instead of munching here and there all day long. We are planning on switching them to a raw diet soon, but we have to get them to eat twice a day on their kibble first before we can try and get them on raw.

It's been hard because they are so used to having the '24 hour kibble buffet' and so they don't eat but just a little bit when we put it out.

We have been only leaving it out for a short while in the morning and then in the evening. And the cats are miserable. I started feeling so guilty yesterday when I was cooking dinner because they both looked so pitiful standing over by where their food usually is.

Is this something that will just take time? I realize that they have been used to eating anytime they want their whole lives, so not only are they mentally not sure what to do, but I'm sure that their bodies are little confused too.

We are going to stick with this because we have to if we are switching to raw, but man they are breaking my heart right now
