Many pet owners are often very surprised by their unusual behavior.

For example, this applies to cats' habits of burying their food or empty bowl.

Let's figure out why our pets may behave this way.

Why do cats bury food?

There are many reasons for this behavior. For example, many cats are anxious, especially those taken from the street. Therefore, they tend to bury food scraps to save them for later.

In addition, stress in a cat also makes it perform these movements.

A cat may also bury food if it doesn’t like it or if it seems stale.

To avoid this behavior, try to:

  • keep the bowl and feeding area of the animals clean;
  • give the animal food it likes;
  • Do not overdo it with portions and put out as much food as the cat can eat at one time.
