Sometimes a cat's behavior can greatly surprise its owners.

For example, you may notice that even after just eating, your animal may start begging for food again.

Let's figure out what's happening to your pet and why he's behaving this way.

How to feed a cat

In fact, the animal's feeding rate depends on many different factors. If the pet is underfed, then it threatens exhaustion.

And, conversely, if you overfeed a cat, it will become obese and, as a result, have gastrointestinal problems.

Why the cat does not eat enough

The main reasons why your pet looks at you with hungry eyes are as follows:

  • presence of parasites;
  • pregnancy and hormonal imbalances;
  • influence of medications;
  • cold season;
  • age.

In addition, there are also non-obvious reasons why a cat may beg for an extra portion of food. For example, the pet may be bored or afraid that it will not be fed anymore. In addition, such behavior can cause stress and competition for food with another individual.
