What @19 is saying is that there are digestive imperatives for certain species. Omnivores cannot live eating only meat. Obligate carnivores are the only carnivores that are actually harmed by eating anything except meat, and cats are one of these things.

A carnivore is a creature which subsists mainly or exclusively on animal tissue. You may notice that I didn't suggest that dogs are or are descended from obligate carnivores, just that the fact that some dogs aren't interested in vegetables might be related to their ancestry. What's more, some house cats, who are descended from obligate carnivores, will eat vegetables. That doesn't mean that human definitions of "food" are broadly applicable to them.

The HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT reaction to the outside world describes my dog to a T.

In less humorless commenting, the cartoon was very, very funny.

Despite the goofy grossness of this comic, it still made me tear up at the end.

Anybody else try that?

OTOH, my dog loves vegetables. Or anything crunchy.
