What to do if your cat is aggressive while eating: tips for owners of two or more pets
Aggressive behavior while eating in cats is quite common.
Some cats don't let anyone near their bowl and can even hiss at people.
When kittens exhibit this behavior, we are usually touched, but when the aggression comes from adult pets, it can result in a serious fight between the animals.
To prevent such situations, it is necessary to take measures to combat aggressive behavior during feeding.
To begin with, it is worth noting that aggressive behavior in cats is often caused by a feeling of insecurity and a desire to protect their food.
You will be able to solve the problem when you “calm down” your pet.
Try feeding your cats separately, giving each their own bowl and eating area where they feel safe.
Alternatively, feed your animals more frequently but in smaller amounts so that they understand that they will always have food and do not need to protect it.
Finally, don't forget to spend time playing with your pets. After two cats play together, treat them with something tasty - over time, the cats will stop competing for food.
Earlier we talked about whether it is possible to tell whether a cat is sick or healthy by the condition of its nose.
