Hi guys,
So my 6 mo. old is developing some not attractive food habits and I’m wondering if anyone has some advice.
He’s recently been very finicky with his food. He won’t eat it unless it’s fresh out of the bag (like I’m talking 10 min later and he won’t eat it) he will sniff around like he’s looking for some “good” bits but barely eats it. This is the same food he had since he started eating, so it’s not a new surprise brand.
He’s also recently decided that “people food is my food” and will go and grab/attack my food to try and eat it. He’s fond of anything with bread and cheese. He will also jump on the counter when we’re making dinner and try and steal that. It’s gotten to the point where we have to put him in the other room any time people food is out. I’m thinking this might be because he’s hungry, but he has his bowl available to him about 90% of the time so if he wanted to eat his food he can.
I know cats will do what they want, but he’s starting to be a pest sometimes and I want to try and correct his behavior if I can, since he is still young.
Does anyone have any advice? He’s normally such a sweet little boy, I hate having to put him in the other room or feel like I’m not being a good cat mom.
Oh, and he’s not sick, he went to the vet last week and was fine, this problem has been going on for about 3 weeks or so.
