Hello. I think we may have brought this on ourselves. But it has been getting quite difficult to get my cat (BSH - 8 months) to eat by himself without us hand-feeding him. Though this only applies to wet food.
With dry food, he would quite happily go and graze on it from a raised bowl.
For a good few months we've kinda nurtured the habit of hand feeding him with spoon due to the difficulty of getting him to eat on his own and we are now trying to do the strict thing of putting wet food in a bowl in a designated area and remove it after 1-2 hours without giving in to feeding him.
This is probably the 3rd series of attempt because his characteristics seems to prefer sleep and play over eat. It's like he would sleep off the hunger rather than touch the wet food. Hence the first few tries led to us giving in and just placing dry food down.
Any advise?
