Sarah, a recently widowed lady, was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach,
Florida. She looked up and noticed that an elderly gentleman had walked up, placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a book.
Smiling, she attempted to strike up a conversation with him. “Hello, sir, how are you?”
"Fine, thank you," he responded, and turned back to his book.
"I love the beach. Do you come here often?" she asked.
"First time since my wife passed away last year," he replied. "Do you live around here?" she asked.
"Yes, I live over in Sun Tree he answered, continuing to read.
Sarah persisted. "Do you like pu-ssy-cats?"
With that, he threw his book down, jumped off his blanket onto hers, tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her life!
As the cloud of sand began to settle, Sarah gasped and asked the man,
"How did you know that was what I wanted?"
The man replied, "How did you know my name was Katz?

Why Do Cats Stop Eating
2016-11-07 10:07:23 · answer #2 · answered by barreda 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Biologically... cats will overeat.
Cats are predators. Predators, unlike grazers, may need to be able to go for days without food (when there is no prey). Therefore, instinctively they try to eat as much as possible, i.e., they gorge, so that they will have enough calories to last them through the possible starvation.
Some cats _do_ eat moderately, but they are not the rule but the exception. _Perhaps_ with long-established breeds pacing their meals is slightly more likely, if the bodies are starting to get used to the fact of assured food access. But as evolution is quite slow, that's just a wild guess.
To be on the safe side, feed fixed amounts of food per day, at separate meals. I know constant access is so much more convenient, but... overweight cats are ill cats. Which is more important - convenience, or saving up on vets when the trouble kicks in? (Never mind. For me, the most important criterion is my cat to feel good and to be healthy)

Most cats are not as greedy as dogs so they tend to eat as required but not always. Also cats are not designed to have 1 or 2 meals a day but are "grazers" so tend to pick throughout the day. Thats why a good quality dried food such as hills is a much better option for feeding. If you think your cats are getting too chubby there is a low calorie version available

I have two cats and while they do stop when they have had enough, if ever their bowl is empty then they are not happy. They meow all the time until the bowl has something in it again even when they can't possibly be hungry. When they come in from being outside the first thing they do is go to the bowl. I have tried ignoring them but they just keep meowing and meowing until I give in as it drives me mad! I know they are just greedy but what animal isn't?

Most cats stop eating when they are full; but there a small number who will not stop until the bowl is empty. In other words, some cats will eat and eat if you let them! You'll soon discover which type your kitty is, I'm sure.

I leave two bowls of dry food down for my 2 cats and they always stop eating when their full. But on the other hand my moms cats will eat til they puke. Guess it depends on the cat.

Most cats usually stop eating when they are full, but some cats tend to overeat and when they do, that is why most cats throw up. I know from a lot of experience of growing up with cats and having 4 cats of my own right now, including one who tends to overeat a lot of times.

Most cats stop eating when full, dogs quite often will over eat if fed to much.

Cats usually stop when they are full. They also like to leave a little bit on their plates for later...unless they've only been given a small portion. Ive watched a program where they put a huge plate of food in front of a cat. the cat ate some...went away to sit for a minute but started at th plate. 2 mins l8r it went bk for more...it is their stomachs you see. they like to eat little and often. hope this helped you...:)

Yes they will overeat, do not give them more than 2 meals a day. Even an active cat only needs that number of meals. Let them exercise. I think only older cats will not eat that much.
