Should I take away catfood once everyone's had their initial fill? (lemmy.world)

I wanna try an experiment but I'd also like others experience here.

I've noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

We used to exclusively use dry food until one of our cats had crystals form in their urethra which lead to a blockage and a very expensive emergency surgery. We tried the expensive prescription dry food for a while (it just makes them drink more water so their urine isn't so concentrated) but wound up ditching it for an exclusive wet food diet. Since then, they've had zero issues.
