      My old cat used to do this, because I’d feed her and then walk away. But once I started sitting with her she started to eat a lot more.

      It’s not necessarily that your cat wants extra food: sometimes they just feel vulnerable while eating (especially as they get older) and want someone they trust watching over them.
