Do you feed wet food already? The cat can eat so much more of it while taking in way less calories compared to dry food. Also generally healthier and you get some water into them. Our cat only gets a few dry food snacks in a food puzzle over night and day in between her two meal times.

Im pretty sure that you have that issue cause of the pausing then. I paused a print once, during one of my first prints, and after resuming it failed. So i just made it a thing to never pause prints again. It just messes with the print for some reason.
