Translation: I’m a land whale and I need validation and excuses for not doing something about it.

they'll lose interest when they're satisfied

Nope. Just as an example Labrador Retrievers have a mutation on the POMC gene which is believed to inhibit their self control leading to increased obesity

Even without that pretty much all animals are set up to gouge themselves when food it plentiful just in case it isn't tomorrow.

Cats you can leave dry food out with most of them and they won't overeat. Dogs will.

That's because they are going next door and eating their cat's food.

I think this is only true of outdoor cats because they're getting plenty of exercise. Indoor cats will most definitely get fat.

Depends on the cat and the environment. Plenty of indoor cats won't get fat plenty of outdoor cats will get lazy and fat.

Also depends on the food. If you give your cat fresh tuna or something they'll eat as much of that as they can.

I know you think Gizmo is fat, but he maintains a 17lb weight eating as much as he wants and the vet said that's a good weight for him. If he had no self control he'd keep growing.

My cat's pretty good about self regulating too. I'd say I've known more that aren't than are though. And Gizmo's still a young'un.

Depends on the cat. We had to put one cat on an automatic feeder after he became diabetic. He would eat until he was sick otherwise. On the horrible funny side, it was hilarious watching a grey baby seal looking cat suddenly book it after he saw the insulin syringe.

Tell that to the little dog my parents had that would stuff himself to the point of vomiting with hotdogs. He fucking loved hotdogs.

I have a fat cat. When the family is away and I'm the one feeding her I always give her smaller portions. But then she just eats the left over food the other cat wont finish before she goes and starts inhaling her fucking kitty kibbles and bits. And when I say Inhaling I mean she like sticks her head in the bowl and just starts chomping away indiscriminately.

Your cat is definitely going to eat you.

Pets do tend to competitively eat when there's more than one in the house.

"They'll lose interest when they're satisfied" sounds to me like "I've never owned an animal, unless you count pet sim games. Real deal works just like that, yes?"
