What is the reason why cats eat less? Pay attention to the distinction between these situations

Cats are very greedy animals. Whenever we tear open the cat strips or open the canned cats, they always appear in front of us as soon as possible. However, some cat owners find that their cats eat very little, which is very strange. What is the reason why cats eat less? What should I do if the cat eats less? Let’s take a look at why cats eat less.

1. Picky food

If the owner usually gives the cat more snacks, it is easy for the cat to be picky and not like to eat cat food. To improve the cat's picky food, the owner can put a small amount of food that the cat likes to eat in cat food and mix it evenly, so that the cat will take the initiative to eat all the cat's food. And for this kind of cat who is picky about food, it is recommended to buy full-price cat food directly. Full-price cat food is rich in nutrients needed for cats' daily life.

2. Erection

If the cat is not sterilized yet, it may be that it is estrus if it eats very little suddenly. However, in this case, cats usually urinate, howl in the middle of the night, and want to go out. This is a normal phenomenon. The owner can use catnip to relieve the cat's emotions and promote the cat's appetite, or can breed and perform sterilization surgery in time.

3. Sick

If the cat eats much less than normal, and is accompanied by mental decline or other abnormalities, the cat may be sick. For example, oral ulcers cause pain in cats when eating, gastrointestinal diseases, parasite infection, etc., you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time, determine the specific cause before symptomatic treatment.
