I don't think this is a very good comparison. dogs are significantly more likely to overeat than cats. some cats will overeat too of course, but it's less common. maybe feeding was a bad example, but my point is that animals often want to do things that they don't understand the consequences of. my parents' cat really likes to jump on the stove, but we have to discourage him from doing this so he doesn't jump on a 400° griddle.
