Slightly
but..
Gibbons, I actually used your technique of smooshing up the food - My kitten Alley eats super fast (even when she had her e-collar on after her spay!
) and then races over to eat poor Jake's food before he's finished.
We tried feeding him first, getting her to lick the spoon - slowly getting her dish and putting in the food, and Jake would still barely beat her.
Anyway, I thought about what you said and I figured I would give it a shot - It worked!
By spreading the food against the side of both of their bowls I can actually have them eat side by side and no one steals because it takes them so long to eat it!
So thanks!
