I have a area in my garage designated for my cats. They have thier food, water, litter, rug and a little bed and scratching post. It's their own little area that they can do whatever they want. (I have two cats that share this area) They are allowed to come in the house (and go out if they want).. but the area in the garage is all theirs..
Just about 6 months ago, the older cat "Zippy" who is about 1 1/2 yrs old started to become a real "messy eater". He started to tip over the dry food bowl and the food would go EVERY WHERE, he also will take his little bed and covers the wet food.
Now at first I thought he didn't like the food, needed variety, etc.. so I went through the process of changing food and giving a variety.. it doesn't matter, he does it will all kinds/brands. So, I have gone back to my original food choice which is IAMS (variety of flavors) and he is still doing it.. I think he's trying to tell me something, but I don't understand.
The other cat Lexi does not make a mess of her food and will eat anything that is put in front of her.
Any thoughts of why he would do this all of a sudden.. (there was no major change in environment, etc to make this start happening)
