Many cat owners face a situation when their cat leaves food in the bowl.

Why does this happen? Let's look into the reasons in more detail.

Bad experience

If the cat has been hungry in the past, it may now leave food. This gives the animal peace and reduces anxiety.

To stop your cat from being afraid of hungry times, it is important to always make sure there is food and water in the bowls.

Low quality feed

A cat may refuse food because of its poor quality. To prevent unpleasant situations, it is important to take the choice of food seriously. Before buying, you should consult a veterinarian and read the composition of the product.
