i remember a cat streamer dealing with a very skinny elderly cat and a young cat who needed to diet. i think he got a collar for the elderly cat that made the autofeeder go off only when she approached it so she could eat whenever.

This is still a thing?
This, but with your girlfriends.
You try to feed your skinny girlfriend, but the fat one comes running around the corner like "meow!"
And you're like "Pam, you're a human. Why do you keep making animal noises? You're 35 years old!"
And she just says "MOOOOOOO!!!!"
So you have to tip toe around her saying the obvious joke. It's like the elephant in the room.
And then the floor collapses, because there's not supposed to be an elephant in the room.
Holds up spork
I have this problem. One cat is food obsessed, the other is a picky eater and very active. Trying to coordinate their food is hard because the picky eater is a grazer he doesn’t like to eat his food in large amounts. And there’s the picky eating part, coaxing and treats then the other one is jealous. It can be exhausting!
My cats are fed in separate rooms for the same reason. I put a little collar activated flap on one door so the picky one could eat without my youngin sniping her food. He's still trying to figure out how to get in that room, I'm a little surprised he hasn't tried to brute force it yet lol
They're even the right colors for my 6.5lb spotted lady and 14lb orange torpedo
The 14lbs one is named Torpedo? What, are you into irony? Does that mean the 6.5lbs cat just has the biggest imaginable cat dick? Like, distractingly so. Like you saw that cat, and were like "People will laugh if I named her Spotted Lady!"
Not names, just adjectives.
