Owners of domestic cats are not advised to change food often. Many follow this advice literally and one day notice that the cat has started to refuse food.

The food can be high-quality, fresh, and the pet’s appearance does not indicate poor health.

In such cases, experts talk about eating habits, and incorrect ones at that.

Let's find out why a cat refuses to eat its usual food and what an incorrect eating habit is.

When a cat eats the same food for a long time, it gets bored with it, and switching to a new food becomes difficult, Pravda.ru quotes expert Anastasia Valeeva.

Most often, this situation is observed when a cat is transferred from home-made food to industrial food.

At first, your pet may simply not accept the new food.

Therefore, it is necessary to feed animals with different types of food, and from an early age.

This can be not only dry food, but also canned meat or something natural.

For the same reason, you should not make large stocks of food.

Firstly, the pet may get tired of it, and secondly, if the smell disappears, the food will no longer seem so appetizing to the pet.

But you also need to remember that refusal to eat can be associated with problems with gums, teeth, intestines and other ailments.
