Not for infromative purposes, but as a reminder how whipped and nonsensical cat owners can be.

I never noticed until I got my own cats though. Used to be a dog person, through and through. Still am, but now I also love my cats.

Now like dogs, they are individuals so there are adjustments needed but let me just list all that I do with my cats that works amazing for them…

• ad libitum food, 2 cats, 4 bowls. 2 always full with dry food, 2 always full with water. (Now there’s actually also two massive dog water bowls they have additional access to)
• Night time crates; when we go to bed, they go to bed. No fuss, they are crate trained just like our 3 dogs.
• Never outside without a harness/leash. These are pets, and unlike dogs which are easily contained with chains or fences cats are not. Its unethical and plain wrong to let your cat out to kill birds and encroach on others property. Barn cats are another tough topic, I won’t touch on cause that’s a situation. But irrelevant anyways since these are house cats.

These 2 cats are healthy af, not overweight and well they eat and drink well.

I’ll add, I grew up with ad libitum dog feeding too. That said my 3 dogs currently are on a 2 meals a day regiment. This is purely due to the fact we have some overly food motivated breeds who will fight and we need to have them seperate when food is involved in any capacity (their food and food in general)

This rant just to say, cat owners very often come off as the type that try to sell chunks of gypsum and amethyst to heal your woes.
