Best Answer

There are a few scenarios here:

  1. You are not actually hungry, but rather thirsty; often we confuse the two feelings. If you feel you are hungry, try drinking a glass of water and see if it subsides.
  2. You are actually bored or stressed.
  3. You have a quick metabolism, and often need to eat snacks or small meals to keep up.

Eating is a part of living; keep it nutritious and it shouldn't be an issue.

You may also just be having a growth spurt

it depends on the dog really, how much are you feeding him? how much exercise does he do? what is he's toilet routine? normally, dogs are greedy and will eat and eat. depending on the size of the dog, you may need to adjust the portions of food he gets. a more serious factor to consider is worms. when he goes to the toilet, inspect he's poo for worms, also the amount he poos. if the problem persists, consult a vet.

well. the most common answer is that u haven't eaten.

2. your body is sending messages to ur brain to make u think ur hungry(most of the time from fast foods)

most fast foods have lots of chemicals in them. these r put into the food. now these chemicals r for the taste of ur food. and fast food isn't always bad for u (just as long u r not eating these food everyday.) but the food + the chemicals+ the stuff u might like to add on = a very unhealthy meal. those chemicals r tested to make that after u have finish ur food that THE FOLLOWING WILL HAPPEN

1. u wont feel satisfied as in u WILL want more.

now the rest r the 'side effects'

2. these foods will not give u energy in fact they will make u sleepy

3.they cause weight gain

4. if u r a healthy person and r used to eating right then u wont feel like ..well...you.

5. its also just plain bad for ur health and u want to be healthy right.

fast food are good, but not good for u. if u go to a fast food place see if they have maybe a salad or instead of fried foods see if they have baked. no soda get some water.

like i said u will feel hungry if u always eat the fast food ....why....because of the chemicals in the food. they send false messages to the brain and cause u think that ur hungry

so i hope u take my edvice and most importantly i hope it helped :)

If the cat is young ie a year or younger it is growing and needs a lot of food to help it grow up healthy the same way children do. Kittens can eat at least twice as much as an adult cat. If it is older it could have an age-related health problem.

Parasites such as worms can cause a cat or kitten to become hungry. When the cat eats the parasite absorbs the nutrition from the food and this lives the cat literally starving for more food. Check the fur under the cats tail. If you see what looks like little grains of white rice those are segments of the worm which crawl out its anus at night. You can also so see white strings in its feces. Treatment for this is very simple now.

Your vet can give you worming pills which will kill the parasite. Good, effective brands usually cost around $15.00 to $20.00 for the pills.

When cats receive their meals at regular intervals, they shouldn't always be hungry. Sometimes they just eat because they are bored very much like humans, or the current food isn't providing enough nutrition, which a cat would have to eat more of to feel full. Another reason is that the cat has a health issue. Parasites such as worms can also cause a cat or kitten to become hungry. When the cat eats the parasite absorbs the nutrition from the food and this lives the cat literally starving for more food.
