The Secret Lives of Our Pets: What They Do When We’re Away

The Mysterious Eating Habits

Pets’ eating behaviors can change dramatically when their owners aren’t around. Some might snack more out of boredom, while others may eat less due to separation anxiety. In extreme cases, some pets may even refuse food, mistaking your absence for abandonment. Monitoring their diet and providing small surprises—like a favorite treat—can help keep them happy and nourished.
