How the season and the moon might be affecting your cat’s appetite
Spring brings more than just sunshine. For cats, it can also mean hormonal shifts, bursts of energy, and changes in appetite. If your cat is eating less or acting more restless lately, the season may be the reason.
As the days get longer, unneutered cats often go into heat. This can make them more active, vocal, and easily distracted. In many cases, food becomes less of a priority. You might also notice changes at night. Around the time of the full moon, some cats become more alert and awake. They may eat at different times or become more demanding in the early hours.
Even neutered cats can show signs of seasonal rhythm. Warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours affect their natural routines. Some shift to lighter meals, while others become more curious and burn more energy.
Stay in tune with your cat this spring. Choose balanced, natural meals that support cats through every season.
Did you know? Cats are affected by lunar cycles, too. During full moons, many become more active at night. The added light and changes in their natural rhythm can shiftfeeding times and behaviour. It’s a subtle but fascinating part of how connected cats still are to the natural world.
