Kitten eating while making noise

A kitten eating while making noise may be because it has tasted something delicious and is feeling happy, or it may be afraid that other cats and humans will steal its food, so it is guarding its food. If it is guarding its food, the sound will be deeper, and sometimes it will also accompany a warning "growl" sound. At this time, the owner should not touch the kitten to prevent being scratched by it. Instead, reward and punishment training is needed to correct the kitten's guarding behavior.

  1. Happiness

Cats can't talk, so they express their emotions through actions and sounds. When they taste something delicious, they will unconsciously make happy growling sounds, indicating that they are pleased. At this time, the owner can give a certain response, gently stroke it, which helps to foster the relationship between the kitten and the owner.

  1. Guarding food

If the sound the kitten makes is a low growl, it may be afraid that other cats or humans will steal its food, so it is guarding its food and issuing a warning growl. At this time, it is recommended that the owner does not approach the kitten until it finishes eating. Otherwise, the kitten's guarding behavior will make it quickly eat the food, which may lead to choking, coughing, or indigestion.

In addition, reward and punishment training is needed to correct this behavior. First, the owner needs to make the cat clear that the owner will not steal its food. It is recommended to call the cat's name, give it food after getting a response, and then stay by its side. Second, after the cat gets used to the owner being present while it eats, you can try gently stroking the cat while it eats, with as light a movement as possible.

During this process, if the cat growls, warn it and quickly take away the food. Once it regains its composure, give it the food again. Repeat these actions slowly to correct the behavior.
