\"\"More and more often when I meet someone or run into an old friend the conversation turns to cats. I suppose that\u2019s because I write cozy cat mysteries. And I always learn something new. At a recent class reunion a former classmate told me how she makes sure that the right cat in her household is getting the right food. One of them is on a prescription food. I was very interested in this because we have to stand sentry duty when we feed our cats. Lily is on a prescription food, but she prefers the over-the-counter stuff that Sophie gets. So we have to watch that Lily doesn\u2019t sneak over to Sophie\u2019s dish. Each cat has a station where they eat. They can\u2019t see each other, but we can watch them. Works for us\u2014most of the time. However, there\u2019s a better solution. Have you ever heard of the microchip activated feeding bowl for cats?<\/p>\n

Yes, there is such a thing. Only the cat with the right chip can open the lid on the bowl. So in our case, we would have two chip-activated bowls\u2014one for Sophie and one for Lily. Here\u2019s one such bowl. There are many others. http:\/\/microchipfoodbowl.com\/solo.html<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also slow-feed bowls for cats who tend to eat too fast or who need more stimulation activities: https:\/\/n.stuccu.com\/s\/Slow+Feed+Cat+Bowl?drsm=5ba78dd3dccc280fc4df6cec<\/a><\/p>\n
