and you could leave food out more often that way. It's difficult to take a cat from free feeding to meals. When I got my last rescue, he was starved all the time and I had always just free fed my cats. Initially he gained a few pounds but he eventually evened out when he finally realized it was always there. After a while, he was only going to the food bowl occasionally and ate smaller portions when there.

Lily is lovely.
