Why Cats Ask for Food Even When Their Bowl Is Full: The Answer Will Surprise You

Cat owners often complain about their pets because they continue to demand food, although there is more than enough food in the bowl.

Let's figure out why this happens.

Sometimes the whiskered and striped ones test the owner's patience just because they want fresh food.

If your cat refuses to eat the food you put in his bowl in the morning, try simply mixing the granules – in most cases, this trick works without fail.

But sometimes your pet doesn’t want to eat because the food has gone bad – make sure that wet food doesn’t sit in the bowl for too long.

Sometimes a cat expects to get something tastier. This often happens if your pet often gets tasty morsels from the human table. Make sure that a balanced diet provides the animal with all the necessary nutrients, and stop shoving treats into the meowing mouth.

Another reason why a cat may ask for food with a full bowl is because of interfering whiskers. In this case, the cat eats everything that is in the center, but cannot reach other pieces because of the super-sensitive whiskers. The solution is a flatter and wider bowl.

Finally, cats may meow persistently near their food bowl simply because they are not getting enough attention from their owner.
