As we all know, every time the cat owner is convenient for the cat litter box, he will use his small paws to bury his poop. But do you know? They sometimes do similar actions to food.
Some time ago, a shit shoveler online ordered a snail noodles. Just as he was about to have a happy meal, the cat owner suddenly served on the table and smelled it, and then began to make a familiar shit bury action against the snail noodles. "Oh my god, how disgusting is this to bury it as shit?"
In fact, in real life, cats not only do such indescribable actions to the food of the shoveler, but also pick up their own food!
So the question is, why do cats make similar actions to bury shit on food?
1. When burying the food you have eaten,
1. Avoid the spread of the smell and attract natural enemies. A long time ago, when our cat owners were still living in the wild, in order to avoid tracking the natural enemies and protect their own safety, there was a need to cover up some strong smells and avoid attracting predators. Therefore, when cats bury their poops, it may be because the food makes the cat feel uneasy. Out of their own instinct, the cat wants to bury the food to prevent the odor from further spreading and attracting natural enemies.
2. Food has changed and refuses to eat
For eating, some kittens are more "feeling". They refuse to eat because they don't like the taste of new food or the newly placed food bowl, so they will have similar actions to bury shit. Most of the time, it’s not that there is a problem with the food itself, but that it’s simple. The master doesn’t like the taste of the new food or the place where your bowl is placed. At this time, the shovelers must make timely adjustments.
3. Due to diseases, cats' appetite will decrease when they get sick. Cats may also lack appetite due to some diseases, so they may start to bury their food. Therefore, if the cat suddenly burys food without changing its living environment, daily diet, and food bowl placement, and its appetite decreases and its body loses weight, please take it to the hospital for a check-up just in case.
2. When burying the food I have eaten, I wonder if you have noticed that some kittens were fine when they first started eating, but they suddenly started to "bury" them as they were eating. In this case, it is very likely that the kitten is storing food.
When I was in the wild, if a cat could not finish the hunted food at one time, it would bury it and store it, and wait for it to eat it when it was hungry, and this instinct was also preserved. So, if the master suddenly starts to raise food while eating, then it is very likely to be an hint that you have given too much food. For this situation, it is recommended to reduce the feeding amount appropriately in the future.
When a cat burys food, all poop shovelers must pay attention to distinguishing the reasons behind it, and then take corresponding measures to ensure the physical and mental health of the cat owner.
