Cat keeps dropping half his food while eating, normal or a problem?
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching my cat eat, and he’ll take a big bite but half of it just falls out of his mouth and onto the floor. Sometimes even when he’s just trying to grab the food, bits go flying everywhere.
It doesn’t seem super comfortable for him, and I hate seeing so much food go to waste. I’m not about to put it back in his bowl , if I wouldn’t eat food off the floor, I’m not making him do it either.
Is this just “how he is” when eating, or could it mean something’s wrong? Anything I can do to help him eat more neatly?
