Everyone must know that cats are greedy, otherwise why would they be called "Greedy Cats"? Nowadays, owners usually buy good cat food for their cats to eat, but due to various reasons, cats Stealing may still occur. If a cat becomes a habit of eating secretly, it is likely to gain weight and cause disease problems. So what should you do if your cat steals food? ​​​​​​

Cats stealing food comes from instinct. They are always very curious and have a strong interest in any food and always like to try it themselves. Even when they are full, wild cats like to steal and hide food, mainly to prevent them from finding food when there is a food shortage. Although domestic cats have excellent living conditions and sufficient food, their instinct to steal things still exists.

First of all, we must ensure that cats cannot touch food. Installing pet fences at the door of the kitchen at home and in areas where cats are not allowed to enter can effectively prevent cats from entering. In addition, if you find that your cat is stealing food, you can stop it by drinking and educate it. For example, spraying water on it will allow the cat to form a conditioned reflex and know that stealing food is a bad behavior. In addition, you can also buy toys such as cat climbing frames and cat teasing sticks for cats to distract their attention.

Another reason why cats steal food may be that the cat is really hungry. At this time, the owner has to think about whether his feeding is correct. According to normal feeding, we should all follow the principle of eating small meals frequently, feeding about 3-4 times a day. Combining dry pet food with canned pet food not only has the high-density, comprehensive and balanced nutrition of dry food, but also has the excellent texture and delicious taste of canned pet food, without affecting the nutritional comprehensiveness and balance of pet rations. Using pet food in this way to reward cats or increase their appetite can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If you encounter a situation where a cat steals food, you must resolve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the cat may eat something it shouldn’t eat, such as chocolate, squid, etc., which may pose a threat to health. Although it is a cat's nature to steal food, I believe it will change under the guidance of the owner.
