the Secrets of Your Cats
Unique CuisineAs we all know
our feline friends are
notorious for their discerning
palates and finicky eating
habits But have you ever
stopped to think about why
your cat might be rejecting
that tastylooking chunk of
salmon or refusing to take a
bite of that healthy kibble It
all comes down to the
fascinating anatomy of a cats
jawThe JawDropping Truth Cats
Cant Chew LaterallyUnlike
humans and many other animals
a cats jaw is designed for
upanddown motion only This
means that their teeth are
unable to move sideways which
has significant implications
for their eating habits In
particular it makes it
difficult for cats to chew
large chunks of foodThink
about it when youre trying to
tear into a juicy steak or
crunching on a crunchy apple
you dont just use your
upanddown motion alone you
also move your jaw from side
to side to really get those
teeth into the food But cats
cant do that Their jaw is
fixed in place so they need to
rely on their powerful tongues
and sharp teeth to break down
their food into smaller
manageable piecesThe Doof
Factor Why Your Cat Prefers
Small BitesSo what does this
mean for our feline friends
Well it means that theyre much
more likely to opt for small
bitesized morsels of food
rather than trying to tackle
large chunks This is often
referred to as the doof factor
a term that refers to the way
cats tend to pick at their
food doffing or removing small
pieces before swallowingIn
fact many cat owners will
attest to the fact that their
feline companions are
notorious for picking at their
food leaving behind a trail of
halfeaten kibble or scraps Its
not that theyre being finicky
its just that their jaws arent
designed to handle large
chunks of food in the first
placeThe Takeaway Feed Your
Cat the Right WaySo what can
you do to accommodate your
cats unique eating habits Here
are a few tips1 Feed small
frequent meals Cats prefer to
eat in short bursts so try
feeding them multiple small
meals throughout the day
rather than one or two large
ones2 Choose the right texture
Opt for wet food or kibble
with a texture thats easy for
your cat to manipulate with
their tongue and teeth think
soft juicy chunks or crunchy
bits3 Make mealtime engaging
Try making mealtime more
interactive by using puzzle
toys or interactive feeders
that challenge your cat to
work for their foodBy
understanding the unique
anatomy of your cats jaw and
accommodating their eating
habits you can help ensure
that theyre getting the
nutrients they need to stay
happy healthy and thriving

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
