ecourage eating in your cat

I read
http://www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Cat-With-a-Cold

Does this make sense? Why 'in your cat'?
Encourage eating in your cat.

Thank you

Hi It makes sense, but it is probably not what I would say ... - Encourage your cat to eat The 'in' phrase is OK but it doesn't sound too good ... - We encourage creativity in our students - We encourage our students to be creative Either works, but I prefer the second Dave

Hi

It makes sense, but it is probably not what I would say ...

- Encourage your cat to eat

The 'in' phrase is OK but it doesn't sound too good ...

- We encourage creativity in our students
- We encourage our students to be creative

Either works, but I prefer the second
