Many owners of purring cats face this problem: the cat does not have enough food, it always asks for more.
What should you do in such a situation? Show pity every time and pour an extra portion of food into the bowl?
No, this is the wrong approach: it can lead to your pet becoming overweight.
Let us emphasize right away: most likely, the cat cannot get enough of a normal amount of food not because of a huge appetite.
It is possible that the cat perceives the portion as too small. And all because of the special shape of the dishes used.
A Serious Drawback of Many Cat Bowls
Some of these containers are too deep, but not very wide.
This shape does not promote proper distribution of food in the dish.
The food is "unloaded" in the center. As a result, the animal begins to think that the portion is too small.
The cat empties the bowl in an instant and immediately asks for more, although he has received enough calories.
What to replace a standard bowl with
Instead of deep and narrow dishes, it is better to use a flatter and wider container.
By pouring food into such a bowl, you will see that the food is distributed more evenly. It will feel as if there is quite a lot of food.
Your pet will also experience a similar optical illusion.
The cat will come to the conclusion that the portion is large. The four-legged friend will begin to eat food slowly. The feeling of satiety will come on time. There will most likely be no request for more.
