A hungry animal can be quite persistent and will do everything possible to attract attention to its person.

However, it happens that cats do not finish their food and the owners are at a loss as to why this happens.

Why do cats leave food in their bowls?

Firstly, cats cannot eat everything that may be on their plate at one time.

Animals eat much less than humans, and their small stomachs fill up quickly.

Secondly, the cause of malnutrition may be food. The animal did not like the food because it was stored for a long time.

One of the reasons for malnutrition may be health problems.

The cat will come running and rub against your legs as soon as it hears the rustling of the bag. You may notice that in the morning cats are active and may show you that they are very hungry. But later, almost all the food will remain in the bowl.

A cat's stomach is small and can only hold about two tablespoons of food at any one time. So it's no wonder cats don't finish their meals.

In addition, the cat may be dissatisfied with the food and refuse it, showing its tastes and preferences in food.

Health problems can affect an animal's appetite.
