Meatball, his partner Mochi, and their adorable feline kids Nugget and Pepper live in Hong Kong with their two humans, Daphnie and her husband Koon Wah.

When the kittens started to eat solid food, Meatball believed as head of the household that he deserved first dibs.

Naturally, Meatball lived up to his name and got a little chubby.

So, his humans decided to create these little food partitions to help with portion control.

“Koon Wah built partitions to separate them during meal times,” Daphnie told The Dodo. “We also had some fabric from some sake wine we bought in Japan and I sewed these to the front of each partition,” she said.

“It has helped a little in terms of separating them during meal times but in terms of weight control, Meatball and Pepper are still a little overweight and the chubbier out of the four cats,” Daphnie said.
