How Can I Stop My Cat From Begging For Food? by Nobody: 9:23pm On Sep 21, 2022
Cat lovers in the house, I need your advise.

I have a cat that I buy cat food for, but this same cat doesn't seems to be content with only its food anymore and would eventually come to me with a big visible full stomach and still beg for food from me whenever I eat.

It wasn't like this before and it only started recently.

I don't believe in beating up domestic animals, especially cats, but I sometimes find myself fighting over a plate of food with this cat and whenever I try to shout at it, most of the time it would meow back at me instead of being frightened.

I'm worried that one day it's gonna display these same manners towards visitors when I offer them food and I know how a lot of black Africans hate cats and can't stand them.

What can I do to make it stop begging for food whenever I eat?

Why buy it cat food when it obviously likes what you eat?

My neighbours' cats always visit my house for food even though their owners feed them well from what I can see from their big fat bellys.

I think it's because I buy them premium food which I can afford as I'm not their main food provider.

You misstrained your cat by feeding it your food in the first place, and now you need to find a way to detrain it.

Cats are my worst pet because of their evil tendency. Cat can blind your eyes for no reason. One of my neighbours cat always want boiled egg. So anytime I visit with boil egg that's how it will follow me with the hunch back up and down.


Not being superstitious, evil means they can harm with their claws just as they can slice with their fangs just stepping on them but if a dog it will only whine but won't bite.

Those are just superstitious beliefs. grin grin

Apart from mine lacking a bit of manners, cats are lovely pets..

I admit that in the past I would sometimes give in to it's begging, but I didn't think it would turn out this way.

I knew it was wrong, but I don't know why I did it and most of the time I like spicy food, which I don't think they're healthy for the cat.

Well, you not thinking it would turn out this way, was training for the cat.

You'd hopefully learn from it because children learn bad behaviour the same way from their parents who "sometimes give in" and "didn't think it would turn out this way".

It means you're not feeding it enough cheesy. Don't get me serious, it's just a joke. What I can say here, stand firm and ignore the begging – If your cat is crying or begging, try not to indulge them – simply ignore them or walk away. Eventually they'll focus their attention elsewhere. It may seem hard, but patience is key. If you're sure you feed him/her enough then use a "Slow feeding Cat Bowl". It's a bowl with a cute shape of a flower I guess and your cat just eats slower from this bowl, because it's more difficult to get food from it. If you still couldn't understand what I'm talking about check their [color=#000000]https://myindoorkitty.com/[/color] article named "Best Cat Bowls For Fast Eaters (Slow feeding Cat Bowl Reviews) 2022".

you cant. dogs seem to be self controlled because they listen to commands. cats in turn dont listen to commands, so youll only have to ignore them.
