In this article, we review cats' feeding behaviors, and discuss ways of feeding cats that promote physical and mental/behavioral health, while providing cats with choices that allow expression of preferences. We address the management of several feeding issues that cat owners may face, such as obesity, pickiness, begging for food, and feeding in multi-cat households. Food puzzles are one way to provide environmental enrichment for cats, and food can be used in multiple ways for behavior modification in the clinical setting, including counterconditioning and differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors.
本文回顾了猫的进食行为，并讨论了促进猫身心健康/行为健康的喂养方式，同时为猫提供了表达喜好的选择。我们还讨论了一些猫主人可能面临的喂养问题的管理方法，如肥胖、挑食、讨食和多猫家庭喂养。食物谜题是为猫提供环境丰富度的一种方式，并且在临床环境中，食物可以通过多种方式用于行为矫正，包括条件反射和替代行为的差异强化。
