Those of you who also have d*gs, how do you feed your cats and stop the d*g eating the food? We had a GSD who had very little interest in food and just didn't eat the cat food so they could have nibbles out and graze at their leisure. We are now thinking about getting another d*g and are unlikely to get one with the same attitude to the cat food. Do the cats just have to have an eat-it-or-lose-it meal time or do you have ingenious cat feeding systems?

My friend has two cats, one of which eats both cats food. So she put a ID cat flap programmed to open for the slower cat on a locked kitchen cupboard door (one of the under the work top ones). Sounds long winded but it works really well. Slower cat goes in and out and eats at her leisure.

Not had direct experience but putting the cat food higher, like on a worktop or high table seems to work

oooh, I've only just seen this thread, how did I miss that?!

Cyclops, I feed our cats in a little utility room and just use a child's stairgate to keep the dogs out. Probably depends on the breed of dog but our labradors never worked out they could jump it!

Interesting, Sweetie! I would have thought that if any dog could have worked out how to get to the food, it would be a labrador.

Cat's just brought a rabbit in. Amazed how she managed to get it through the cat flap! Rabbit was okay though and was last seen running up the path into the woods!

I went to meet my running buddy for a run this evening. She was in a panic because she'd got home from work to find that one of her Maine Coons had pooed on her bed, and had faeces matted in his exceptionally long hair. I ended up holding the cat over the bathroom sink while she washed his bum. He was very placid - my cat would have scratched me to ribbons if I'd tried that. It stank though!

I had to wash a cat once. Very unpleasant experience for all concerned.

I remember trying to wash my cat when he got covered in stinky old oil, probably waste from the fish and chip shop. He sort of let me but it wasn't easy!
