Many cats are known to have a habit of leaving food in their bowl for later and then not finishing it.

We explain the reason for such strange behavior of the pet.

Why does the cat not finish its food?

The instinct that makes a cat leave food for later is inherited from its wild ancestors, who were forced to make reserves in order to survive.

In domestic cats, this instinct manifests itself if the feeding regime is not followed.

You shouldn't force your cat to finish his food, it will stress him out.

To break your pet of this habit, feed him regularly and do not give him too much food.
