I have 2 cats that are about 8 months old. We have a pretty consistent routine with them, they get fed hard food in the morning when I wake up and then some moist food in the evening at dinner time.
Every morning when I go to feed them, the female of the pair swipes at my hand whenever i touch the food bowl or put food into it. This morning she got me across 2 different fingers and actually left a decent scratch across them. Hard food is always available, they are allowed to graze all day so this isn't a situation where there should be food aggression.
What's a good strategy to stop her from doing this? I don't think she has bad intentions. I'd really like this behavior to stop thou
