But cat or dog, you plop food in front of them, they eat some, leave, and then hours later, bark or meow for more, only for you to look in their dish to see they didn't finish what you originally gave them. Just like kids I'd say.
My cat does this all the time.
You're overfeeding your cat.

Trust me I am not. My cat isn't Jabba The Hutt. He is actually skinny and could be considered a flying squirrel with his indoor extra skin, like an old granny with flabby arms. He eats enough, and I had asked about his flabbiness on prior vet visits. They said it was normal for indoor cats.
I think it is merely like a human child even when you feed them well, they simply like the attention, regardless.
He isn't fat, and I don't starve him. So he isn't Jabba or a skeleton. I am not overfeeding him. Most of the time when he asks for food, and I see that he still has food, I look at him and say, "No, you still have food left" and my tone more often than not gets him to be resigned to accepting for that moment, just like a kid, "Finish what you have".
He his healthy, neither fat or starved. I think he is simply picky, just like when my mother as a kid put food in front of me. I either didn't like it, or got tired of it and wanted something fresh. More often than not, when I tell my cat "NO, I already fed you" and hold my ground, he gives in.
