Cat owners who are not around for a long period of time should make sure that the feeders that they use are large enough to hold enough food for the entire time the cat is alone. This way, cats are cared for no matter what you are doing. Cats who are territorial really do need their own dish. Then, you can feed the different cats at different areas of the house.
