Cats are naturally naughty and have been active since ancient times. Usually their naughty owners can indulge them, but if they can’t behave properly even when eating, it’s really hard to accept. So is there no good way to make cats behave well? As for eating, what should cat mothers do?

1. Develop the habit of eating at regular times

If you want your cat to develop a good habit of concentrating on eating, you should feed your cat regularly and rationed meals from an early age. Don’t let your cat’s rice bowl always have food in it. Cat food that has been left out for a long time will have a bad taste and smell. It will cause waste. Let the cat develop the habit of concentrating on eating. If it does not finish eating within thirty minutes, put away the cat food and wait until the next meal time to provide it. Don’t let the cat develop a habit of eating when it wants to eat and not eating later if it doesn’t want to. I also have a bad habit of eating too much. Once this habit is formed, the cat will become more picky about food. Just imagine, in the summer, there is leftover rice in the cat food bowl, which is easy to spoil and may cause gastroenteritis when the cat eats it.

　2. Develop the habit of eating in a fixed place

When some cats eat their favorite food, they like to take the food into a hidden corner where they think it is safe to prevent it from being snatched away by other cats or animals. There are also cats that when they eat their favorite food, they will take the food out of the food bowl so that they can gobble it up easily. This is a very bad problem: Hidden corners are usually blind areas for home hygiene and are relatively dirty. Cats will eat dirty things when they pick up food in their mouths. Even if the house is not dirty, cats will eat the food when they pick it out. Some areas are stained. Therefore, when you find that your cat is hiding food to eat, you must stop the cat’s behavior in time, put the food in the food utensil, or place a piece of clean paper (or plastic sheet) near the food utensil, and let the cat sit on the paper (or plastic sheet). (plastic sheet) to let the cat understand that the place you have found for it is clean, safe and convenient for eating large pieces, so that the cat will not eat food everywhere.

3. In summer, we should develop the habit of eating small meals, frequent meals and late-night snacks

The weather is hot in summer, and people’s appetite will deteriorate, let alone cats wearing big leather coats. Hot weather makes cats want to eat less, so in summer, cats should appropriately adjust their meal time and eat smaller meals more often. Give the cat a little more for breakfast, a little less for lunch and dinner, and give the cat a little more for a midnight snack before going to bed. That is, give a little more when the heat has not started around 7 o'clock, give a little more around 12 noon, give a little more for dinner around 6 o'clock, and give a little more around 11 o'clock in the evening when the heat has completely subsided, so that the cat can eat enough.

4. Don’t give out canned snacks casually

Snacks and canned food are not good for the cat’s body.There are additives and preservatives. Just like a child should eat less snacks, it’s okay to eat once or twice occasionally, but giving cats snacks and canned food frequently will make the cat become picky. Snacks and cans are only given to cats as rewards when they behave well.

5. Improve meals once or twice a week

Eating cat food all the time cannot fully meet the cat’s nutritional needs. You need to improve the cat’s food once or twice a week and cook some meat. It is best to cook meat for the cat at a fixed time, so the cat knows that it will eat delicious food on a certain day and looks forward to it.
