How to switch from free feeding to a scheduled feeding routine for your cat?

To switch from free feeding to a scheduled feeding routine for your cat, gradually reduce the amount of food left out and establish set meal times. Start by offering meals at specific times each day and removing any uneaten food after a set period. Monitor your cat's behavior and adjust portion sizes as needed to ensure they are getting enough to eat. Be patient and consistent during the transition to help your cat adjust to the new feeding routine.
