Neglecting to feed a cat for an extended period can lead to the feline leaving home in search of food. Cats are independent animals with strong survival instincts. When they feel hunger pangs, they may wander in search of sustenance, sometimes finding alternative sources of food outside the home.

It's essential to provide cats with regular meals to ensure their well-being and prevent them from straying. Proper feeding not only maintains their health but also strengthens the bond between the cat and its owner, reducing the risk of the cat leaving home in search of food.
