Hi Janet,
There’s one option that certainly helps, though it can be cost prohibitive sometimes. The SureFeed microchip cat feeder can provide access only to particular cats. So for example, your cats on their prescription diets can each have their own feeder that reads only their microchips, and access is denied to other cats in the home. If you have a cat that is more of a grazer and you want to prevent anyone else from accessing that cat’s food so they can access it when they wish, this is also another good use of a feeder like this. It can also help with weight loss plans by preventing the overweight cat from accessing another cat’s food. It takes up to about 2 weeks to train a cat to use the feeder and it has training modes to get them used to it. The accordion style door slides shut in a safe way that makes it near impossible for another cat to sneak in behind and gain access. Depending on your needs, and your cats’ eating patterns, this may help make some aspects of feeding your cats a little more automated for you. The main downside is that depending on the model, they can cost $130-$200. But they are a good investment and work well. https://www.surepetcare.com/en-us/pet-feeder
