So, I just read this article called “Don’t Keep Your Cats Waiting - When They’re Ready, They Get!” and it was pretty interesting. Basically, it’s all about how we should respect our feline friends’ natural instincts and behaviors, especially when it comes to eating and using the litter box.
The author explains that cats are hunters by nature, so they prefer to eat small meals throughout the day rather than one big meal like dogs do. They also need plenty of fresh water and don’t like to eat food that’s been sitting out for too long. I can definitely relate to this - my cat is always meowing at me for food, but if it’s been sitting in his bowl for too long he won’t touch it.
The article also talks about how important it is to keep litter boxes clean and easily accessible for our cats. They don’t like to use a dirty litter box, and if it’s too hidden away they might not be able to find it or might feel too vulnerable to use it. This is something I’ve definitely experienced - my cat used to refuse to use a covered litter box because he felt trapped in there.
Overall, I think this article is a great reminder that we need to respect our cats’ instincts and preferences. They’re not just cute little pets - they’re intelligent and independent creatures with their own personalities and needs. So next time your cat is meowing at you, remember that they know what they’re doing and trust that they’ll let you know when they’re ready for something!
