I know there are a handful of bunny-slaves that also have cats ruling their homes as well; so here’s the situation.

Pete LOVES dry cat food.  He will do anything to get his little lips on it.  Although the vet has reassured me that a little cat food here and there isn’t going to hurt him (lots of fillers), it does leave me with a pouting/hungry cat. I thought I had found a solution to this by putting Zoeys food in the kitchen on the scary laminate flooring, and it worked pretty well for several months.  Not anymore.  Pete has discovered that he will not actually die from lack of traction and now follows me, slip-sliding into the kitchen on a regular basis.  He has also discovered that the cat food is there and has begun raiding it once again.  Now I need a new plan.

  The other issue is that Zoey is going on 10 years old and has arthritic hips, so she doesn’t like to jump to get to food.  She’s also a big girl that has to have plenty of space…  There is nowhere that I can think of that she can and will go that Pete won’t go as well.  He actually tends to get up higher and into tighter spaces than she ever does.  So any suggestions on where I can place her dry food that Pete won’t raid it in the middle of the night?  Or any tricks for keeping bunnies out of cat food?  I’m at a bit of a loss.
