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