The seemingly harmless habit of hand-feeding a cat can turn into a serious problem.
We explain why you should never train your cat to eat from your hand.
Why you shouldn't hand feed a cat
The explanation is simple: having become accustomed to eating from your hands, the cat will begin to refuse to eat from a bowl.
It may get to the point where the cat will sit in front of the food bowl and wait for the owner to feed it.
And it will be very difficult to wean a cat from such behavior.
That's why veterinarians strongly recommend training pets to eat only from a bowl. This applies to both cats and dogs.
