I've known a few serious carb-junkie cats like that in my day, where
you couldn't leave any sort of dry food out for other pets.

Congratulations on that! It's no small feat to get cats to lose weight,
especially when they are indoor cats. I don't know about yours, but mine
are because it just isn't safe outside though I do have a screened in
enclosure to let them get some fresh air and smell the outside. Good job.

2x a day here too. 2 eat mostly canned food, 2 eat mostly dry but will
eat some canned at times. I use California Natural and it works for them.
