Many cats have a habit of "burying" the floor near the bowl after eating.

We'll tell you why cats behave this way and what to do about it.

Why does a cat bury the floor after eating?

There are several reasons for this behavior, but the main one is natural instinct.

This is why it is so difficult to wean a cat from scratching the floor near the bowl.

If a cat is stressed, it will also “bury” the floor.

This behavior also occurs in cats when there are several pets in the house.

What to do

First, place the bowl on a scratch-resistant surface.

Secondly, do not punish a cat scratching the floor, do not use force. Try to distract your pet with a toy.

Third, give a portion of food that the cat will eat in one sitting, and keep the bowl clean.
