Many cats very often take food out of their bowl and onto the floor.

Of course, the owners don't like this. And it's not just that they have to clean more often.

The problem also lies in fear for the pet, because the food consumed by the animal turns out to be dirty.

Fortunately, the problem is solved with incredible ease.

Why does a cat take food out of a bowl?

The pet does not act this way out of a desire to “cause mischief.”

And food that ends up on the floor does not seem “tastier” to the animal at all.

Most likely, the problem is that the furry creature is experiencing inconvenience when eating food.

Perhaps the bowl is so small that the cat's whiskers constantly get on the edges of the container. This causes discomfort to the pet.

It is possible that the cat is forced to grind up pieces that are too large.

Or it may be that the animal is afraid of losing food.

What should the owner do?

If the bowl is too small, it should be replaced with a larger one. As a result, the cat's whiskers will not be affected.

Try to chop up the food you give your cat.

Also, provide your pet with a quiet meal: no noise and no “competition” for food (other pets should eat in a different place or at a different time).

Earlier it became known whether it is possible to assess a cat’s condition by facial expressions.
