Cat is begging for food after I already fed it?

Cat keeps begging for food, even right after I fed her a full bowl. She is on a diet so she can only have one full bowl at night and half bowl in the morning.

She keeps begging, but she can't have it because she is a fatty and she needs to lose weight. Only problem is she is constantly meowing in the kitchen now for more food. How to get her to stop begging?

Recommanded Answer:
the cats nature is to exploit you food all the food it can, especially if more people live with the cat, because it can beg everyone for food. the cat isn't hungry, but just wants to eat. i have found the best thing to do is distract your cat with a play toy, cat nip, or a cat nip filled toy. cats love fresh catnip and it grows kinda like mint leave so it is not hard to grow, but it is hard to keep away from the cat once the cat realizes what this is. anyway just remember the cat is not hungry, just distract your cat from the food it does not need

  • I suggest that you have her checked for tape worms. They feel hungry all the time because the worm is essentially "steeling" their food.

    I got this from http://www.petwave.com/cats/health/digestive/tapeworm/overview.aspx


    Cats and dogs may carry tapeworms without showing any symptoms. When symptoms do occur they may include weight loss, poor coat quality, increased appetite with little weight gain, upset stomach, periodic diarrhea, lethargy, and irritability. In rare cases, or extremely severe cases, tapeworms can cause symptoms which include seizures and severe weight loss.
  • she will get fat
  • Offer her some peas, beans or carrots. If she is truly hungry she will eat them. You can also try splitting her daily allowance into 3 meals- morning, evening & right before bed.

    I'm not sure how much your bowl holds, but a total of 1/2 cup of dry food is plenty for most cats. Canned food will stick to her ribs longer because it is more protein than carbs (unlike dry). It's also healthier. About 1 1/4 can is plenty for the day. If you feed a combination, ration accordingly.
  • You could try putting her allowed ration of food in several small bowls dotted around your house which would make the meals last longer and also give her a bit of exercise while hunting for the food! As suggested by someone else, more playtime is a good idea, some cats are like people and eat when they are bored!
  • Hiya first have you been deworming reguarly this can create excess hunger if not time for a vet check up
