"There was one animal, out of all the animals observed over the years, that would decline to work for food practically every time free food was also an option. This animal, in other words, is a total freeloader. That’s right, it was the domestic cat.

It turns out that cats, unlike all other animals, would rather not work for their food if you’re freely giving identical food to them so that it requires no effort on their part. That was the conclusion of a study by Kenneth Koffer and Grant Coulson, as reported in Psychonomic Science in 1971"

Cats are smart...

I've seen cats beg for food. Sometimes they are just lazy

I believe that we humans (the alleged culmination point of evolution) still have a lot to learn from "lower" animals like cats

If i had my nuts chopped off, i"d probly want to sit around all day doing bugger all while being fed titbits.

My cat one day woke up and said "Wait, I want something out of life!" It has been miserable ever since

Your cat gave in to peer pressure. Don't let it watch any more of those youtube videos of seemingly more accomplished cats (judging by the millions of views they get).

It happens to the best of us
