Cats vary. I had one cat that never ate his prey. We were walking in the redwoods alone for a change. He gave me the “be back in a minute look”. In that minute, he trapped and killed a mouse in the humus, brought it to me and dropped it on the ground.
I told him I would wait while he ate it but he was not interested. I pointed it out to him on the way back but still no dice.
The next day Johnny Depp was with us. I showed him the day-old mouse and he crunched it right down.
I have had several cats who insisted on freshly opened canned food. Once they heard the hiss of the vacuum seal breaking, I had about 30 seconds to get it into a food bowl. :)
I prefer Bucky when he is clever, not mean. Neither Satchel nor Rob deserves some of the nasty stuff he does. I know it’s a column but Bucky needs to realize how lucky he is to have Rob as his human!

Cat’s have to be catered to

Satchel’s not worried about his food sitting around for a few extra minutes. Dogs eat garbage, roadkill, and drink out of the toilet.

I can’t imagine why Bucky would even think that would work.

Satch is a natural passive/aggressive.

As he said before, “dogs have a narrow definition of ‘gross’”.

Given there are no “fresh caught daily” cans of dogfood, I think Satchel’s response is reasonable.

Having both cats and dogs, I can vouch for Satchel’s statement.
