Does your cat get restless when they are hungry?

I've seen some cat that won't bother when they are even hungry. When you bring their food, they will gently go and eat. If they are not seeing any food, they won't fuss about it.

My cat is just like that all the time. It's like they are telling me, they don't care about the food and they know I'm going to bring it.

How does your cat react when hungry?

2 of my cats become maniacs! One of them, Phoenix will cry non-stop, cry, cry, cry until she gets her food. Professor X will walk back and forth, following me everywhere, but if I'm laying in bed, he will jump on me, over and over, try to take the covers off of me, lick my hand, arm, face non stop and if ignored long enough, he bites!!!

My cats will pester you all over the house until you give them food. They will cry all day until they are fed. They even do it when it's their milk time. This is why I don't allow them get hungry. I have their feeding time on a timer, once it's time, they are getting their food.

Don't human beings become restless when they are hungry? It's exactly the same thing with cats. The entire house will never contain you and my cats when they are hungry. They will chase you out of the house 😂.

Nobody likes being hungry. It's normal for cats to become restless whenever they are hungry. It's why I don't miss the time I'm meant to feed my cats. I know how good the food helps with making them feel okay.

Exactly! It is even very wrong for you to allow your cats to be very hungry for a long time before you feed them which is the reason why I always have a timer on when to feed my cats especially when I am at home so that I don't end up allowing them to become hungry very long time.

Smokey always used to become restless and impatient when she was hungry, she would also try it on and try to get more food out of people even though she had been fed a little bit before hand as well.

We had to make sure we communicated when we fed her otherwise she would put it on and we would believe she was hungry.

Zoey suddenly becomes moody. She would keep to herself in her little corner. If that happens for like half an hour I would understand what is going on.

My kitten likes to knock things over to try and wake us up early to feed him a can. Most of the time I just try to ignore him, but sometimes he keeps doing it so I have to get up so he doesn't damage anything lol.

That's exactly with my cat. They won't let me rest as they will keep jumping from one place to another till she is given food to eat. Some of her actions can be hilarious 😂

That’s a cat with high energy. How many cats do you have?

Everyone loses their cool whenever they are hungry especially when the can't be able to get their own food. They would display aggression and restlessness in order for you too attend to the need without wasting time.

It's best to feed your cats whenever they are hungry. You're supposed to have a timetable when you feed them in the morning, afternoon and night. They are like human beings too, they shouldn't be starved.

You shouldn't have to take for as long as have an hour before you understand the reason why your cat is moody. I can figure it out in an instant because of the kind of body language my cats are going to show me when they're hungry.

Yeah that was when I had not associated her mood to being hungry. Now I can understand it immediately. Besides I don’t even have to wait till she gets so hungry, I know when it’s time for her to eat.

You are not even supposed to wait for your cats to be super hungry before you feed them. There should be a feeding time in the morning, afternoon and night when you ensure that they have been fed.
