Hi Anna,

I've read that food should be offered and what isn't eaten in 20-30 minutes, taken away. Something to do with the mere odor of food causing chemical changes (brain connection) in the saliva, either heightening or lowering (if I had the time I would look it up!) acid levels, thus effecting digestion of the food. This would be applicable to thin or fat kitty. Thin kitty might eat more/better, if knew food not always available. Idea is to have them go at the food like they aren't sure where the next meal is coming from! In natural surroundings, they eat as much of the kill as they want and walk away. They don't stay too close to the "remainder of the day".
