Yeah we were told by the vet to stop leaving food down all day (as she just kept snacking and was huge), so we took the food away, and then all of them became food obsessed. The rest of them were quite happy to just eat what the needed and then leave it at that, but she would just keep eating. Funny thing though, she got so big that instead of being down the pecking order and getting the crap beaten out of her on a regular basis she became the "alpha" cat because she was too big to be pushed around.
