      Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you’re going to be sharing the food like cats do.

      In the wild they are probably vulnerable when eating so maybe it’s for protection. I’m no expert though.

        I recall reading that cats in the wild are considered semi-social, so while they usually don’t hunt together, they do like to eat and hang out together with animals they like during down time. You’re part of their in group.

      The difference between a pet cat and a feral cat is that pet cats associate human interaction with being fed.

        My cat is free feeding and does not get fed by humans. But sometimes he yells at me to follow him to his bowl so he can eat with me.
