-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Cats tend to eat slowly because they do not have to compete for their food.

As a result, they can take their time and savor their food without the need to rush or eat quickly to ensure they get enough. This behavior is more commonly observed in cats compared to other animals that may need to eat quickly to secure their share of a limited food supply.Rate this question:
