This free cat multi-cat feeding planner tells you a feeding plan for a multi-cat home, from cat count, daily grams per cat, and meals per day, with separate stations, portions, and spacing. It runs fully in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server, and you need no account and no sign-up to use it.
Many multi-cat homes feed from one shared bowl, and one bold cat eats too much while a shy cat eats too little. Separate stations fix this simply: each cat eats its own portion, in its own spot, at the same times. The result is fair portions, less guarding, and a clear sign when one cat stops eating, which can signal illness early.
Type the number of cats, the grams each cat eats per day, and the meals per day, then press the calculate button. The tool shows the stations needed, the total daily food, the grams per cat per meal, the feeding line length, and a table with each cat portion.
The result is a planning guide, not a vet order. Weigh each cat monthly and adjust portions in small steps. If one cat suddenly stops eating at its station, check it first for illness before you blame the plan.
Example: 3 cats eating 60 grams each per day, in 2 meals, need 3 stations, 180 grams total per day, 30 grams per cat per meal, and a feeding line about 2 metres long.
Space stations at least one metre apart. Cats feel safe eating when they cannot see a rival clearly, and one metre is the minimum for calm meals.
Feed the shy cat first, in the quietest spot. A shy cat that eats first feels less pressure, and the bold cat learns that its own station is where food appears.
Lift bowls after 30 minutes. Set meal windows teach cats to eat at set times, and leftover food tells you at once which cat ate less today.
Common question: Can two cats ever share one bowl? Only if both are calm, equal eaters with stable weights. Most pairs do better apart, and separate bowls cost almost nothing.
Common question: What if one cat still steals food? Feed the thief in a separate room with the door closed for 20 minutes. A closed door beats scolding, which only teaches the cat to steal faster.
Common question: Should kittens and adults eat apart? Yes. Kittens need kitten food and more meals, while adults need portion control. Separate stations let each age eat the right food.
Keep a simple notebook for a month. Write the numbers you used, the result, and what your cat did next. Did the cat sleep in the new bed, drink from the fountain, or walk calmly in the harness? That short record turns a vague feeling into clear evidence, and it makes the next adjustment much easier to judge.
A steady routine helps more than a perfect purchase. Feed at the same times, keep fresh water out, play at regular hours, and weigh your cat every few weeks. Cats settle well into routines, and a settled cat is easier to measure, easier to watch, and easier to keep healthy.
Finally, check the result against what you already own. If the new size is close to the old one, keep the old one. If it differs a lot, change in small steps and watch your cat for a week before you decide. Write both numbers down so you can compare them again later.
This tool is free to use as often as you like. Bookmark it, recheck the numbers when your cat grows, gains weight, or changes habits, and keep the daily routine steady. Small, steady habits matter far more for a cat than any single perfect number.
