Many cat owners see nothing wrong with hand feeding their pets, and that's a shame.

We'll tell you what this seemingly harmless habit can lead to.

Why you can't feed a cat from your hands

Your pet may enjoy eating from your hand so much that he will begin to refuse to eat from a bowl.

Eventually it will get to the point where the cat will sit by the food bowl and wait for you to feed it.

And if you refuse, the pet will start meowing. And it will take a long time to wean the cat from such behavior.
