Why Cats Can Be Picky Eaters

Have you ever noticed that your cat can be a little picky when it comes to food? It turns out, there are a few reasons why our feline friends can be so finicky.

Sensitive Taste Buds

Cats have a much stronger sense of taste than humans do. This means that they are more sensitive to different flavors and textures in their food. If they don't like the taste or smell of something, they are more likely to turn their nose up at it.

Instinctual Behavior

In the wild, cats are hunters. They are used to catching their own food and eating fresh meat. This means that they have a natural preference for meat-based diets. If a cat is offered something that doesn't resemble meat, they may be less inclined to eat it.

Health Concerns

Sometimes, a cat's picky eating habits can be a sign of an underlying health issue. If your cat suddenly stops eating or becomes very selective about their food, it's important to take them to the vet to rule out any medical problems.

Texture Preferences

Cats can also be picky about the texture of their food. Some cats prefer wet food over dry food, while others may have a preference for certain types of meat or fish. It's important to pay attention to your cat's preferences and provide them with food that they enjoy.

Conclusion

So, the next time your cat turns their nose up at their dinner, remember that there are a few reasons why they may be acting finicky. By understanding their preferences and providing them with a balanced diet, you can help ensure that your feline friend stays happy and healthy.

I timed myself when making my pooch this DIY kennel bed. It actually took me about forty-two minutes from start to finish. My almost eight-year-old boxer has to be placed in her dog's kennel during thunderstorms, or else she simply goes loco. We purchased two different kennel mats for her, but for some unknown reason, she doesn't like either of them. Instead of her using them to lay on, she wads them up, and literally kicks them to the corner of her kennel. Since Princess (my dog) isn't getting any younger, she really doesn't need to be lying on the hard floor of the kennel. So, I came up with this DIY kennel bed idea for her. The length and width of my dog's kennel is 54 inches x 37 inches. So, I cut out two pieces of soft material that size, then I cut strips along the ...
