Cats are hunting animals, but they are used to fighting alone, so they only hunt for enough portions they eat at a time. They don't have the habit of hunting large animals in groups, so the best way is to hide in a safe place to enjoy the hard-earned food.
And such instincts exist in the blood of domestic cats. Even if there are no other competitors to grab food, they will still protect "prey" out of instinct. Especially when the owner gives something particularly delicious, the chances of domestic cats have higher behavior.
Although cats are hunting animals in the wild, they are also prey of other large predators! In order to avoid exposing themselves to crisis, cats are used to hiding in safe places to eat. Even for indoor domestic cats, some people feel that the food area arranged by their owners is not a safe place to eat. Especially in families with multiple cats, if the relationship between cats is tense or even bullying occurs, this behavior will be more obvious.
Even if cats are group animals, they don't like to eat together! If you have only one eating area in your house for cats to eat together, they may tolerate it for the sake of eating, but it does not mean that it is stress-free for them.
At this time, it is easy to find that cats will take a bite of food and go to other places to eat. Even if they fail to do this, it may cause them to eat too quickly to shorten the time they stay in an unsafe place, which is very bad for digestion in the long run.
