If your cat only eats when you are present, this is a cause for concern.

This behavior may signal a serious problem.

Why does a cat eat only in front of its owners?

Often, cats that are very attached to their owners behave this way. This behavior can also be a demonstration of trust.

But it is possible that the pet simply does not feel safe – is afraid of one of the family members or other pets.

In addition, such behavior may be a sign of situational stress. Perhaps the cat was frightened by something while eating, or a stranger came into the house.

Stroking can partially solve the problem. You can also feed your pet when the whole family is eating, placing the bowl near the table.
