I think pets that are properly taken care of don't really realize what hunger is and how scarce food actually should be. People certainly don't, and we're a lot more intelligent.I never thought about it but cats and dogs must always be a little impressed by our ability to secure food.
Though with the delight my cats took in bringing me birds, chipmunks and squirrels... they might think my hunting skills are lacking.
That said, my old dogs favorite forbidden snack we didnt tell mom about, was a little hamburger grease drizzled over the kibble. That dog always must have though I was God bringing such delicious food straight to him lol
I can see the bottom of the bowl. I'm starving here!5 minutes later - "I have never eaten in my entire life, why are you torturing me so oh devious master of mine"
