Hello everyone!

Mi bengal Doris step by step decided that eating dry food outisde the bowl is so much better....
I replaced her little bowl with a plate, then with a flat plate (I thought the edge was touching her whiskers) but nothing......
I'd like to correct this aspect of her behaviour because it's little bit messy around the bowl.......
Any advice?

Thanks

The Neater Feeder is terrific! I have one for Raiden because he had his wet food all over the floor. Now it stays in the feeder and I just clean it daily. Some cats are messier eaters than others. You probably can't change that fact.

My last cat would remove each mouthful and place it on the mat before eating (some of) it. There was always dried cat food all around the bowl when I got home. My current kitties eat every molecule and lick the plate shiny clean after every meal, no more clean up! I think it helps having two, competition.

I think We've made it!

When I got my cat her routine was to have "free-food" (the breeder said it to me) but She was only less than 3 Kgs (not much for a 3 years old girl!) So I kept the free feeding and Now she's normal (around 4 kgs).
As I'm satisfied of her weight few days ago I decided to control how much dry food she eats, so I'm not filling the bowl with random quantities of food.
The indications on the new dry food (GranataPet Adult) sais 65gr for a 4 Kgs cat, so I'm filling the bowl 3 times a day.... 2 times with 20gr and the last one with 25gr.
As her plate is more empty now, apparently she's not making all that mess and the crumbles are close to 0 (even if the new dry food is little bit bigger than the old one).

Sorry for my English but I'm italian, if something is not 100% clear, please tell me and I'll try to explain better.

One of my (non Bengals) has started dropping pieces of dry food down the heat vent. I can just imagine her thoughts. "now the whole house smells like yum!"
