My cat had a very different approach. Her approach was "FEED ME NOW, HUMAN!!! AND IF YOU TOUCH ME WHILE I AM EATING, I WILL MURDER EVERYONE IN A 5 MILE RADIUS!!!"
Then she'd get done eating, and be a lovely sweet angel again. Now that the food horror is over.....for now.....
Some cats are very protective of their food and think that you're going to steal it if you get too close
There’s a reason every young pet I see eating gets pats(within reason, obviously). Sometimes people will say “oh you gotta leave them alone, they’re eating” and it’s like, sure, if you want your housepet to act like a wild animal and potentially hurt someone.
Cats and dogs you train early to not be protective don’t act like that.
Yeah. OP's cat is clearly setting them up.
My one used to do the same.
She'd get excited if I was walking in the direction of her bowl and jump up onto the table and wait for me to enter the room.
Then purr while eating but only when I walked right up to her.
My elder cat does the same. Any idea why ?
They like it
Same
Reminds me of this lemur
