Most people I know eat three meals a day, but most pets seem to eat just two meals a day - breakfast and dinner. Why is that?
For the past month, I've been home around lunch time and when I have lunch, Taffee wants lunch too. She was just running around under my feet and begging for food, so I gave her a broth.

Do you feed your pets two or three meals a day?
She eats all day, whenever she wants. There are no set meal times. No, she isn’t overweight and she only gets canned food.
Mine all get wet food for breakfast. The three that have no health issues can free feed on high quality dry food, but the one with intestinal problems gets a second helping of canned prescription cat food late in the afternoon. She lets me know if I'm late with it too!
My cat wants food anytime I walk into the kitchen. Doesn't matter that she just ate. She pulls the starving kitty routine all the time. If my husband gets up first he will feed her, but not always. So I get up and get starving kitty routine only to find out she was already fed breakfast 1/2 hour before, but she got a second breakfast from me..... I sometimes now ask husband, Did you feed her? first. She is a excellent actress in her starving kitty routine.
She is pretty much can food now so maybe she is not getting the same full feeling she got from dry food... She is doing better on canned food though, less throwing up.
The healthy cats eat 4 meals a day. The IBD cat eats 11 servings a day. Only 2 meals a day is really not good for a cat. Cats are designed by nature to have several small meals a day. They don't have to be evenly spaced but 12 or more hours between meals on a regular basis is much too long for a cat. Their little tummies fill up with acid, and hurt.
My daughters cats seem to snack throughout the day. They get the bowl of dry rations which they nibble and at night I don't know what they eat, probably what they run down. She feeds them canned food in the morning only and they get bites of human food.
The male likes to dig through the trash cans. He won't stop, one day my daughter was cooking something and he wandered into the kitchen and headed for the trashcan. My daughter made a loud hiss and without missing a step he turned around and went back into the living room like nothing happened. He's sneaky now. I gotten up at 4 am to see his butt sticking out of the trash can and I slap his tail.
