Domestic cats have many different and strange habits, such as running after using the toilet or screaming after eating.

We'll tell you what could happen to a pet who screams at the top of his lungs as soon as he moves away from his food bowl.

Reason one: hunger

It is possible that in this way the animal expresses its strong protest against how much food is given to it at one time. Maybe it should be added, and then everything will be sorted out by itself?

In order not to make a mistake with the norm, it is recommended to allocate food per day in the amount of 2-7% of the animal's body weight. Average cats eat 3-5% of this figure.

Reason two: health

Perhaps there is something wrong with digestion. And if the screaming has become constant, then it is time to go to the vet. In this case, you need to react as a signal for help, and not as an innocent prank.

Reason three: unlikely

It is possible that this is the pet's way of saying thank you. It is believed that cats, despite their affection, are quite selfish creatures, so most owners do not really count on such gratitude.

Reason four: attention

This becomes apparent with age. If a cat screams after eating, pick it up. If the animal breaks away, something is bothering the pet.

Reason five: strange behavior

Perhaps these are such quirks that can be associated with hormones, time of year and other individual characteristics.
