Cats Shovel-Eating Food

You wouldn't think there'd be so many, yet here we are.

[@johnp.6692]

2:40 cat was like "I'm tired of eating these one by one"

[@prasenjittripura4691]

Hahaha

[@stoicalsilence]

when a cat had to feed itself before finding a home, this happens. when they finally get food in the wild their natural instinct is to gorge so others cant steal their food. it causes extreme weight gain because they dont chew their food. they have to be trained by A) feeding them in different areas of the house so they learn that nobody is coming for "their" food or B) not feeding them these huge portions because a wild cat is gonna want to eat it all in one go while a housecat can ration it out for the entire day.

[@jollypmandr]

ok

[@patri_zzz5013]

Thanks for the advice, I actually didn't know about this!

[@mediatour8898]

I agree, makes me wonder what kind of feeding regimen they have for their cats.

[@jayjaygolden5123]

My cats dont shovel food like this or ever had to feed themselves but they do eat extremely fast (sometimes choking on food) in the belief that finishing first means you get to finish the other's food bowl. Their weight is fime tho.

[@racealley5297]

My cat did this for about two nights after he’d been lost for a month and then went back to normal. We give him two portions per day though much smaller than these but with wet food mixed in

Why are they feeding their cats like actual kilograms of food at once

[@Giviero]

Some owners don't seem to understand portion control, instead just filling the bowl like we do to breakfast cereal.

I feed my cats with full bowls and they aren’t over weight or unhealthy, they don’t eat their food all at once ether they munch on it through out the day, so calm your farm before you go getting on your high horse.

Usually cats that have problems with their teeth where it is painful for them to eat will do this to be able to eat as quickly as possible

[@Azraltarux]

I've heard this too. Unlike other pets cat's organism need raw meat. It deliiver vital nurients especially the collagen and bone marrow. The lack of raw meat can cause pain in the teeth. On other hand gluttony catches animals as well :D

[@fdgsa]

@@Azraltarux you are correct cats require taurine which is a type of protein found in meat. The dry food also contains it as well though alongside all the other essential nutrition a cat needs. The dry food is also supposed to help teeth stay fresh

[@brainbomb.]

It's funny AND satisfying to watch.

[@bellavue80]

I adopted a kitten and one of the first things i noticed about her is how funny she eats, very differently from other cats. She shoves her face in her food with her mouth wide open and takes these big ol chomper bites. She's growing wonderfully, she doesn't over eat. Either myself or the older cat has to clean her face because many times she will have food shoved in her nose!!

[@stanpatterson5033]

We took in a cat that was headed for euthanizing because its owner couldn't properly look after it anymore. She was barely 5yrs old, was huge in the midsection. Had been fed (or should I say overfed) a full can of wet food every day. I don't mean a regular "tunafish"-sized can, I mean a regular can of wet food every day. We think that she knew how to run a can opener, too. We put her on a diet, slowly weaning her off straight wet food onto a mix of wet and dry kibble, and slowly over a few months, to just dry kibble with a treat of canned food once a week. This cat eventually slimmed down to the dimensions of a normal cat, but always, ALWAYS would gulp down her food and then muscle her way into the other cat's dish. We nicknamed her "Hoover" because she would suck up food like a vacuum cleaner.

[@missblios]

Is your cat normal?

[@stanpatterson5033]

Well, "normal" in the sense that she doesn't shovel food, but rather inhales it. Normal in appearance, normal in cat-like purrsonality. Complains a bit when she gets picked up, that might be due to a dislike for being handled, or possibly pain from an unknown injury that happened before we acquired her.

[@_Obey_]

Why stop giving wet food? Isnt wet food way closer to the natural diet than dry kibble? I heard dry kibble is pretty unhealthy.

[@missblios]

Aura Verdigris yeah, my mother’s cat turn 16 years old this year, by eating boiled fish with a bit of water everyday and kibble. And poo in the toilet without sniffing to litter dust. She never been sick. Now im trying to feed my cat with boiled fish too in day light, night they eat kibble.

[@kimberlysevastyanenko3798]

@@_Obey_ yeah, dry food alone isn't recommend. It's hard on the kidneys. It's recommended that they are fed a bit of wet food each day.

My cat does this too and I’ve always wondered why

[@jennifertamez5285]

Most of these people are over feeding the cats as well. I split my cats recommended amount into 3 so she doesn’t get so hungry she stuffs her stomach and eat too fast. You can also buy special bowls to keep them from eating like this.

[@DivineMoon215]

this is the cat equivalent of chewing with your mouth open

[@every__villian_is_lemons]

This is the equivalent of eating a steak and baked potato in under 30 seconds

[@RIPbennyharvey]

My cat still does this. It would also make an annoyed noise whenever we approached him but he never nipped or scratched at us. Eventually I’d just sit next to him until he stopped making noise entirely . He still likes to shovel food into his mouth but as long as he knows he’s safe and maintains a healthy weight I don’t really see the issue with this.

why dey do dat

[@duges5318]

Because they are probably from a litter with many kittens and they've learned to eat like that to make sure they get enough food. It's generally very unhealthy for cats to eat like that and idk why those owners give their cats such gargantuan amounts of food and laugh when they overeat.

[@kimberlysevastyanenko3798]

@@duges5318 hopefully they do it just to get a video and not all the time. Most of those cats looked pretty healthy.

[@KingArmani0170]

Maybe they should buy a new modern food bowl that makes sure the cat can easily get food without stickin they whole face in. And cats are meat eaters shouldnt give 'em dry food every day. Fresh raw meat is what they like and should have.

[@dnp57]

why would you give a cat so much food at once???

I this the cat is sick. And not normal

[@kimberlysevastyanenko3798]

@@missblios it has nothing to do with sickness. Some cats who have been rescued and may have been starving on the streets prior to rescue will eat this way because they're used to eating as much as possible when food is available because they think they may not get another meal for a while. Over time they may stop doing it. Some cats just eat too much and too fast because they like it. Limiting portions is important in any case.

[@mikey18201]

I believe that this happens to any cat that gets a microchip embedded in it. The chip, if embedded improperly, triggers a nerve that makes the cat think that it's stomach is still empty. My cat was eating fine until he got chipped. Now he shovels the food down like no tomorrow. To remedy, I have to now feed him in small portions from an ice cube tray.

It's sad cause they rather swallow up these concrete nuggets instead of chewing. Poor things would eat better if they had some soft food.

[@ouchsp]

Is there any reason those cats might be afraid their food will be taken away soon? Did any of them not eat for awhile for any reason so they might be unusually hungry? The man who called his cat a "fat bastard" needs to be taught about just how sensitive cats really are to our attitudes, if not the words we use when we speak to them. I doubt that was a one-time occurrence.

[@samjackson2150]

Have they been starved for the videos

[@samjackson2150]

Don’t swear at poor kitty

[@RainingRetro]

One of my cats would eat like this then throw up piles of whole pieces of food almost immediately. We used to have a fruit bowl that they could freely go to to eat however much they wanted whenever they wanted and we definitely give all 3 plenty of love and attention to feel safe in their environment. We switched to timed, portioned feedings. For our shovel mouth, we put his portion on a plate and spread it out flat as possible. He no longer throws up. He is also the biggest begger/food stealer of our 3 cats. He also always purrs when fed. I'm pretty sure he just loves food.

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

They usualy lived some time on the streets where they have to compete for food and it isn't always avaible, so they gorge all they can as quickly as they can like that to prevent other cats from stealing it from them. Some leg go of the habit, some don't
