Have never really owned a cat or dog as a pet but have heard this is true many times. Like i mean no owner supervision and you just leave a whole bunch of food for them. <cite>GranTurismo posted [p:974130980] in Is it true...

A_Good_Boy 06/13/23 1:44:03 PM #7:	It's something I've heard that a lot of cats and dogs will do, but I've never owned a dog or cat that acted that way. I've always been able to leave food out for my pets all day long and they'll graze on it as they get hungry and just walk away when they're full. --- Who is?

Villain_S_Fiend 06/13/23 1:44:57 PM #8:	I've had a couple dogs that could self regulate their appetites, but most of them would gorge themselves sick if given the opportunity.

LinkPizza 06/13/23 1:48:58 PM #13:	I believe thats true of goldfish. My cat will leave food, though Mu dogs will leave hard food. But will normally devour soft food But when hes not as hungry (or very full), hell leave some But only when alone. If there are others around, hell eat it all For most pets, it probably depends on the environment If there isnt any competition, maybe they wont mind leaving food around --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

Zanzenburger 06/13/23 1:53:13 PM #21:	My three cats always have food available. They only eat as much as they want and leave the rest for later. My dogs are bottomless pits, but with limits. I actually tested it once just out of curiosity. We had finished an event and had tons of food leftover that wouldn't keep till the next day. So we just put it in a huge platter and just gave to our two large dogs to eat. My wife and I were curious if they would naturally stop, or if they would eat the whole thing. Interestingly enough, they ate like 75% of it, but at almost the same time, they both stopped suddenly, put their tail between their legs, and walked over to their crates to sleep it off. It was really weird. Looked like a car's gas tank filling up when you hear the click. It wasn't even a gradual stop either. They were eating, and then they just stopped. I don't think they knew what if felt like being full and it spooked them. --- Congratulations! Your post was deemed response-worthy. <cite>Zanzenburger posted [p:974131256] in Is it true...
