The reasons why cats guard food:

1. Only feeding a small amount of cat food or food every day will cause the cat to be in a state of not having enough to eat, which will trigger the cat to guard. Food Desire.

2. If the kitten is forced to be separated from the mother cat before being weaned and ready to live alone, the kitten will have a strong food-protecting mentality and behavior.

3. If a new cat is adopted at home, the old cat originally kept at home may develop food-protecting behaviors due to its strong sense of territory.

4. Because when cats first survive in the wild, food is very scarce, so it is a natural food-protecting behavior.

Solutions to why cats will protect their food:

1. The owner needs to make it clear to the cat that the owner will not snatch the cat’s food.

2. It is recommended to call the cat’s name every time, give food after getting a response, and then stay with the cat.

3. After the cat is familiar with the owner eating with it, you can try to gently pet the cat while it eats.

4. If the cat roars, take the food away and give it food after it calms down. Repeat the training to make the cat trust its owner.
