Why is he doing this

So most nights the cat eats his wet food just fine but some nights he paws all around the bowl and doesn't eat much?

Should I be worried

If you get into that spiral of buying different foods every time he won't eat, you will spend a LOT of money on cat food, and end up throwing a LOT of cat food away.

Cats are notoriously finicky, and it's easy to spoil them. I know I spoiled MY cat!

@4meAndyou no I usually always buy the same brand just different flavors of it there's two different packs you can get he prefers the pate. It just doesn't seem to like this packet I got

@Cigarguy I went through several different BRANDS. He finally wouldn't eat ANY of the flavors of Friskies anymore. And I started shopping for expensive Japanese stuff which he LOVED.

They do sometimes get tired of some variety of food. They try to bury the food they aren't eating. At our house, we try to put out just enough food so they usually eat it all. We mix dry food and canned food together every time. We don't leave food sitting out all day; we feed them at certain times (twice a day). Anything they leave, we throw away or put away until the next feeding time. They always have water.

They are like us sometimes they don't feel like eating...and some other days they want to eat double..

@Cigarguy does he have access to dry food or some other food that he eats other than that?
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
@Boeing yes he has dry food out all day and gets treats as well

@Cigarguy yeah some days they might have a preference over dry food too, to my experience living and observing cats, I wouldn't worry, unless it goes on for days, you know..

He is trying to cover it up.
My cats usually did this when they didn't like the food.
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
Well he still pawed around the bowl a few times but he ate it all up today

@Cigarguy He IS playing with his shadow. I looked more closely at the photos...and that is what he is doing.

Playing with his shadow? It’s cute ☺

@Cigarguy Oh the food you meant. I guess you’ll know if he eats a different kind.
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
@MellyMel22 I'll have to go to the store tomorrow and get a different flavor.

@Cigarguy I’m sure if he gets hungry he’ll eat it.
