I feel so lucky I haven't had a cat or dog have issues with free feeding! If I ever had a pet that was a glutton, I'd need one of those timed feeder bowls or I'd constantly forget to do it. Though, I'm sure they would make sure to remind me anyway!

Yeah, as someone with pretty bad ADHD I never forget to feed my animals cause they will make sure to let you know that they are hungry if you do. My dog is a little harder to read but my cat will literally walk up to his food bowl and meow directly at you

They do!

My freely fed tortie used to @ me if her kibble got to low tide. I was like, you haven't even eaten it all and she was like no I need a replenished stockpile nooooooow.
