Hello all.
I have a cat which constantly wants food. Even after I've fed her she wants food. Each time I walk into the kitchen she bolts to me meowing as if it were her last moments of life. Lucy is a female Australian domestic short hair who is 2 years, 3 months old and of good physical health and weight at 3.4kg (7.5lbs). She's predominantly indoors however I let her out in the yard for a few hours each day and she is reasonably active.
I currently feed her:
Morning:
This seems consistent with the packaging instructions. I tried giving her an entire day's dry food to see if she was more comfortable with a constant supply of food but she simply gorged herself and finished the remainder before midday. I've just bought an auto-feeder to provide her with regular small meals throughout the day to see if she accepts this.
Her last vet appointment was only 10 days ago and nothing problematic was found. Could this be a psychological issue?
Thank you in advance.
