Many cats have a habit of taking food out of the bowl and eating from the floor.

We explain why cats do this and how to deal with it.

Why does a cat take food out of a bowl?

Most likely, the cat simply feels uncomfortable or unpleasant eating from its bowl.

It's either too narrow, too deep, or it smells like plastic or detergent.

In addition, cats do not like it when their whiskers touch the sides of the dish.

Don't punish your cat under any circumstances, just buy him a comfortable bowl and he will stop eating from the floor.

The cat can also take food out of the bowl and take it to a secluded place if there are other pets in the house.
