The Bowl Was the Thing She'd Ingested

I was the "I'll just put the food in the bowl" kind of owner, and the "I'll just put it in the bowl" was the one I'd been doing for a month. And then the morning I watched her inhale the whole bowl in one go, and the "the bowl's not the that slows her down" was the I was doing, and the whole "I'll just put it in the bowl" loop ended in the "the bowl's ". Because the "I'll just put it in the bowl" was the one that was the "the bowl's 'the puzzle feeder's ".

Here's the I was doing wrong: I was treating the "she's inhaling the food" as the "I need a smaller portion", and the "I need a smaller portion" is the "the bowl's " loop. But the "she's inhaling the food" isn't the "smaller portion". It's the puzzle slow-feeder bowl — the "the puzzle feeder's , made into ". And the one that ends the "she's inhaling the food" loop isn't a smaller portion. It's the specific puzzle feeder, and it's the one that turns the "she's inhaling it" into the "she's actually eating slowly".

"I'll just put it in the bowl" was the sentence that kept her inhaling

The instinct when the cat's the "she's inhaling the food" is to "put in a smaller portion," and you do, for a month, and it's still the "she's inhaling it", because you're only treating the "I need a smaller portion" and not the feeder. The fix isn't a smaller portion. It's the puzzle slow-feeder bowl, which is the "the puzzle feeder's , made into ".

The two that actually slow her down

One is the "silicone puzzle feeder" — the "the puzzle feeder's , made into ", and the specific that makes it the right one is that it's the "the puzzle feeder's ," not the "the bowl's ". The other is the "suction-cup slow feeder" — the one for the "the 'I want the suction-cup, and the suction feeders ," and the specific reason it's the right one is that it's the "the puzzle feeder's , done by the suction-cup." They're two different pieces of the same "actually slow her down", and most owners who've been in the "I'll just put it in the bowl" loop need the silicone puzzle feeder one first.
