We have one dog who gets a mouthful of food and carries it into the hallway before he actually eats it. |

Our 13 yr old Bichon was diagnosed with Diabetes a couple of years ago and it was a struggle until recently we found out he had Cushing's disease and now he is pretty much blind because of glaucoma.
Currently we cook him special food every week and give him 9 units of insulin twice a day. We love him to death but we can't go anywhere (traveling) until he is gone. |

I think it's because they remember not being able to find food so when it's available they have to eat as much as possible. It's like something they can't turn off.

You could sell the cat to Subway and they can make some tuna out of it.
I'm going to hell for that. |

Just remember, you gotta taste it's pee every morning to check sugar levels. If it starts tasting like Mt. Dew you've got a rad-as-**** cat and you should probably buy it a skateboard.

I used to have cats when I was a younger adult. Plus, my family always had them when I was a kid. I understand what you mean but I just don't have a desire to own another cat. Dogs are much more fun.

I like basically all animals, I'm not at the point I really want to own a dog, they're more work etc.

I think you're right but I think it is more just ingrained in their DNA. Both my males scarf down food like there's no tomorrow. One was in a foster with 7 other dogs but the other grew up with just him and his brother until I rescued them. But scarfing down food is not healthy, either. I buy those slow feeder bowls.

The dog that ate up the couch wasn't mad. Dogs need to dissipate energy, especially when they're young. It was probably just frustrated. Of course, some breeds are more energetic than others. When I had my first boxers, we got them when they were just pups. They needed a walk every day. Of course, life gets busy and sometimes that isn't always possible. But we did manage to walk them at least 5 days out of the week. They do calm down a bit by about 3 years of age.

We've had dozens of dogs over the years and the only thing I've ever had a dog destroy is another dog or a varmint.
I've never had a dog destroy actual property other than a stray piss. You can keep them away from destruction simply by putting things out of reach. Cats, on the other hand, go wherever they want. Nothing is sacred. |

I'm a dog lover who doesn't live a dog lifestyle. My wife and I (pre-COVID anyway) typically go out of town at least once a month and do a couple "big trips" a year. With our cats, we just find someone to drop by to check on them each day. While I'd love to have a dog, it's just not worth the reduction in flexibility it would come with.
Instead, we just live vicariously through our friends who have dogs. Much easier that way. |
