My cat usually cleans her bowl but now is leaving food behind. What does this mean?

Question

My cat was totally fine till we went on vacation. When we got back my cat developed an attitude problem, she isn't cleaning her bowl like she used too; now she is leaving a little of her food behind, and once she was running up and down the stairs stopping in between each run grunts a few times then runs again. She is a fat and kind of old cat. But I just want to know if she is alright and what might be wrong with her! Please answer this question.

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you left someone to take care of her. I certainly hope so.

I don't think anythings wrong with your cat. Is it a big bowl or a little bowl? If its big then its no problem but if its tiny then maybe you should call the vet. it cant hurt just to ask.

Answer 2

my 15 year old cat stopped eating recently and he always cleaned his bowl and everyone else's.  if it is a senior cat please take it to the vet.  it could just be mad that you left it but could also signal a health issue (as mine did).
