Cat Eating Behavior

I have had many cats over the years. Some of my cats like to savor every morsel of their food, while others gobble up their food as quickly as possible.

Outdoor farm cats always seem to eat quickly for fear of another cat getting their food away. My outdoor cats feed on a piece of meat with their claws while eating. Cats will also growl while they are eating as if to say leave me alone while I am eating my food. I have had some cats run away with a big piece of food so my other cats would not try to take their food away from them. I had a Tom cat take a rabbit into the far corner of a shed to have the whole rabbit to himself.

When I just had one Siamese house cat, she took her time eating. She liked tuna canned in water, dry cat food, and cat treats.

I now have three house cats. Conrad is a very lean and fit cat. Conrad is a slow eater, and he savors his food. Garfunkel is a medium-weight cat. Garfunkel eats his food very fast. Kohl is a little bit overweight, but he is a slow eater. When I put snacks out for my house cats, Garfunkel always shows up first, followed by Kohl and then Conrad.

My cat’s next door have a definite pattern in their eating habits. Lorenzo eats a  lot, and he is a speedy eater. Russ, Sherlock, Addi, and Cali are slow eaters. Mr. Gray and his brother Hilford are fast eaters. Hilford likes to growl while he eats.

Most of the time, my cats that eat slowly are not overweight. I do have several cats that are a bit overweight that does eat slowly.
