You can put a smaller bowl or cup or anything like that in a food bowl, making it a slow-feed bowl.

 

Ditto. You can easily make your own food puzzles and feeder.

This article has just a few simple DIY projects (probably already have everything you need at home) for food puzzles.

There's also several youtube vids out there and probably a bunch of ideas on pinterest.

 

Gingersnaps and Kmes, thanks for the ideas. I will definitely be trying out some of those ideas. Gingersnaps, your mention of putting a smaller bowl or cup into a bigger one sparked a memory. I still had in storage what was sold to me as a puppy starter bowl. A bowl with a raised middle so puppies can't climb into the bowl with all four feet. I'm going to be trying it for a while and see how it goes. Combined with some of those puzzle feeders. Might even be helpful in keeping them a little busy Sunday while we have the whole family over for dinner.

 

Just a small plea, please consider changing food, royal canin is not high quality cat food at all, it contains far too much maize and wheat and not enough proper protein....
With regards to eating, I found scatting food on a tray helped my cat slow down a bit.

 

Matrix, I know R/C isn't the best there is. But it's the best I can afford at the moment. I would love to switch to Orijen or some such grain free food, but that's just way above my budget.
Thanks for the tray idea. Will definately keep it in mind.

Have you looked into Fromm's food? They have a grain free line and I think they are along the same price point as RC, not quite as high as Orijen. My cat loves this one

 

Tiggerbounce, no i'm in South Africa. At the moment, just bought new bags R/C yestersday, it was about R380 odd. Dad worked it out at about R70 a kilo. I am still looking into other foods, but the affordable ones unfortunately all contain grain. He is slowly learning to slow down, I am slowly introducing foods that aren't "siamese shaped" so far not too much of it has been coming back up again.
