Instructions
Plan a feeding schedule for your cat. Adult cats can eat 1 to 2 times per day as recommended by Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Pick a specific time of day when you will feed your cat and stick to it.
Determine the amount of food your cat should eat per day. Commercial brands of cat food include recommended daily portions on their labels.
Divide the daily recommended amount of food by the number of times that you plan to feed your cat. This is how much you should feed your cat at each meal.
Feed your cat. Wait until the exact time on your cat feeding schedule. Fill your cat's bowl with the appropriate portion size of food.
Remove the cat food after 30 minutes, regardless of how much or little your pet has eaten.
