There are three main ways to correct cats' food grabbing, feeding separately, making or purchasing isolation feeders, and feeding at regular intervals. First of all, the owner can directly separate the food bowls of each cat, and feed the cats that are grabbing food in isolation during mealtime, and then let the cats go after all the cats have finished eating. Secondly, owners can also make their own or buy an isolation feeder, which can well regulate the cat's eating habits. Finally, owners can usually adopt regular and quantitative feeding methods to reduce the time of disputes and conflicts between cats.
1. Feed separately
When there are two or more cats in the home, the cat with higher status will naturally grab the food of other cats. At this time, the most direct way is to separate the meals, rice bowls, and dining places of cats that can grab food and cats that don’t. Let the cat go after it has finished eating. This can reduce the cat's awareness of grabbing food and gradually form a habit.
2. Make your own or buy an isolation feeder
If it is not convenient to separate cats, you can make your own or buy an isolation feeder, which can effectively separate cats and them. Separate jobs and avoid competing for food.
3. Regular and quantitative feeding
If the cat was allowed to eat freely in the past, and the cat could easily eat its own or other cats’ food throughout the day, it would also be given to the cat. More opportunities to compete for food. If you adopt the method of regular and quantitative feeding at this time, the cat will know over time that if it misses the meal time, it will have nothing to eat, and it will not waste time fighting for food, but will choose to finish its food as soon as possible.
