I think its a sickness in a way. My grandma's animals are always morbidly obese. The vet always tells her that they HAVE to lose weight, but my grandma just about cries if her animals are begging to eat and she is trying not to feed them so much. She always gives in. She is terrified of them starving. When she comes to my house for a holiday, she makes each one of my animals a plate of food. We tell her not to, so she sneaks it to them. I love my grandma so much, but I get very annoyed with her compulsion to feed animals until they are about to explode. I think some parents are like that with their children. It's like the second their child whines about being hungry, they worry they are going to starve to death.
