As in, what’s the evolutionary reason for this? I can get seeing dogs as cute because they probably helped early humans by being “guards” essentially and they’re just great companions in general, but what purpose does a cat have for example? All they want is food, and you get nothing in return except a cute cat to look at. Hell, even bear cubs are adorable and they’ll eventually turn into something that can kill you with one swipe.
Why do we find animals that are or will grow into dangerous creatures cute? What reason does this serve?
Yeah… Cats get very very very used to regular schedules and patterns. I had to make a switch with one cat years ago because free feed didn’t work on him and he just overate and got fat.
You can’t imagine how much he pestered me because his bowl was empty :)
You just have to be a bit more patient and maybe hype up feeding time a bit more (bringing out their absolute favourite toy right beforehand eg). Maybe try to switch brands…
When you manage to create new patterns, your cat will happily adapt at some point
