| Eating out of boredom? Do you think some dogs sometimes eat out of boredom like some people do?

| Both my yorkies are self feeders and they only eat when hungry. I can almost tell you the times of day. However, I have a cat that is food obsessed. If I walk into the room his food is kept he eats, if I add more food to the bowl he eats, if my other cat is eating he eats and it doesn't matter if he just finished. I have to have him on weight control food becuase he just doesn't stop. The vet told me the Max does not have the chemical to signal when he is full. So I guess 1 out 4 pets is acceptable

| Well, my Max would eat constantly if I just kept giving him food...he doesn't nap and get fat though, b/c someone might open up the fridge or the microwave or open the kitty's room door (where he can go scarf down THEIR food if anyone takes their attention off him for one second).....so, he's got to be vigilant; he doesn't want to miss an opportunity, LOL. Whenever we have something to eat, he is RIGHT there staring at us or whining b/c he thinks it's HIS turn to eat too....I just wonder if he had someone to play with more, he'd turn his focus off food (at least for a MINUTE Or two )

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Uh oh, I think Tat Tat might do this I think I have a serious problem here LOL. Don't get me wrong, she plays with Stedman alot, and hubby and I play with her too...BUT, it's like when she see's her food bowl, she says, "oh what the heck " and just goes and eats I don't know...she is a little chubbo. I am seriously so confused as to what to do with that little girl!

| <SIGH>....well, girls....you're NOT helping me, LOL . I was hoping that could be part of my platform to get a girl Yorkie for Max,hehe....and most of you have at least one other dog too.....drat!!!! I'm trying to find every reason why we should get Max a girlfriend/sister. Dh is not wild about the idea (but I KNOW once I got another sweetie pie here, he'd be totally in love with her too)...I'm a little scared too, b/c I feel like I'm "betraying" Max (I KNOW...it's CRAZY! ), but I just think it would be really a good thing for him. Well, I'm still holding out hope, LOL.....thanks for your replies....maybe they're just "born to eat" . I swear, if I fed Max something all day long, he'd eat everything. Amazing!
