Why do cats never finish their food?

There are a few reasons why cats never finish their food. Firstly, it could be due to instinct. Cats in the wild typically save a portion of food for later in case they are unable to find food later in the day. Secondly, cats have sensitive whiskers and if the bowl that the food is presented in is too narrow, they will stop eating. Cats’ whiskers are rich in nerves and sensory cells which causes sensitivity and even pain when a bowl is too small.


Is canned tuna bad for cats?

Tuna is high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Canned tuna that are specifically made for cats do not necessarily cause harm.

However, just like humans, too much tuna might cause mercury poisoning. Moderation is always key.
