A cat's behavior can indicate whether it's hungry or bored. Hunger cues include vocalizing (meowing), lingering around the food bowl, and physical signs like weight loss. Boredom behaviors may include overgrooming, excessive sleeping, or seeking attention through mischievous actions. Ensure your cat has a balanced diet and provide toys and stimulation to address both needs. Consulting with a vet can also help identify the root cause.
