Why do cats bury shit next to food? Do you really think you are eating shit?
Since becoming a shoveler, many things require wits and courage. "Snatching food from a tiger's mouth" is commonplace.
What's even more hateful is:
When you prepare a delicious meal, the master comes and smells it, and suddenly starts -
The familiar action of honey makes the shovel doubt the life:
The spread of breath may be insecure in the food, and you want to bury it out of instinct.
When surviving in the wild, in order to protect one's own safety, cats will want to quickly cover up some strong smells to avoid attracting predators to this area.
This is similar to the reason why cats bury shit:)
But please don't get me wrong, it's not that cats only react to this kind of thing that smells smelly.
Different cats have different love and hate for the breath of human food.
Resistance to food after changing
may not like the taste of new food, or the position of the bowl.
This situation is sometimes seen after giving the cat new food or changing the location of food to be placed normally.
No appetite due to illness
When cats lack appetite due to some diseases, cats may also begin to cover up their food.
If the cat suddenly starts this behavior when the environment and diet have not changed, accompanied by symptoms such as decreased appetite and weight loss, please go to the hospital for further examination.
Food storage behavior
Someone discovered that their cats were eating well at the beginning, but suddenly started to pick them up halfway through the meal.
In fact, this may indicate that there are a little more food for him.
For foods that cannot be finished at once, some cats are likely to have instinctive burial actions in an attempt to hide them.
If this happens, the amount of feeding the cat can be appropriately reduced.
Behaviorists speculate that this may be related to the food storage behavior of felines, and many felines that survive in the wild have food storage behavior.
Although most cats just do things and walk away disdainfully, there are still some more practical kittens who will look for tissues, blankets, mats and other things to carefully cover the food~
are also very worried masters!
