    Some cats are very protective of their food and think that you’re going to steal it if you get too close

      There’s a reason every young pet I see eating gets pats(within reason, obviously). Sometimes people will say “oh you gotta leave them alone, they’re eating” and it’s like, sure, if you want your housepet to act like a wild animal and potentially hurt someone.

      Cats and dogs you train early to not be protective don’t act like that.
