Should I take away catfood once everyone's had their initial fill? (lemmy.world)

I wanna try an experiment but I'd also like others experience here.

I've noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

For my neutered cats. Definitely

They get wet food 3x day and eat like pigs. I need to use those bows for greery cats to get them to eat slower. Otherwise they vomit.

When they were young adults they used to have dry food bowl always available, but they quickly became too fat and they were constantly demanding that somebody open the kitchen tap for them.

Then I gave them limited amount of dry food at mornings and evenings and wet food when I came from work.

At middle age they started having urinary problems and bladder stones. After one of them needed a quite expensive "bladder rinsing", I gave up dry food completely. One cat remains on special urinary diet. Non of them need the kichen tap anymore.
