Our Tally started doing this very thing this past spring. She had recently lost a lot of weight, the result of her playing with our younger newest addition. We had always fed Moe and Tally one meal in the evening. Our vet thinks that Tally's new more active life-style called for more energy during the day. She suggested giving her two meals a day, instead of her usual one. She gets the same amount of food daily, but broken into two meals; two thirds in the morning and one third in the evening. Worked like a charm. Moe still got his whole meal at night but recently he began to want whatever the little guys got so they are all on the same schedule.
