Our cats have never in their lives had to worry about food, yet they still become anxious around mealtimes. That suggests that it is trait common to all mammals regardless of their "wealth".
- popnroll 8y agoYou think the behavior of your cats represent the mammal population?
- Broken_Hippo 8y agoum... They naturally get hungry, in other words. They recognize patterns. This isn't the same. This is more like giving your cat a treat, and testing whether or not the cat has the self-control to not eat it for a time so they can double their reward.
- always_good 8y agoMy cat has food laid out for it all day. It has no "mealtimes" to get anxious over. Not sure what conclusions you can draw from the fact that your cats did indeed build up an appetite between meals.
- gaius 8y agoOurs too, there is always dry food available. That is the whole point of my observation that they demand mealtimes too.
