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.

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.
