The difference between dog and cat is immediately obvious. While a dog almost {and occasionally literally} inhales its food the moment it's set down, cats are more cautious. A cat wants to taste a little first. McCarthy directs my gaze to the kibble that has no palatant coating. See how they feel it in their mouth and then drop it?

The contrast between dogs and cats in terms of eating habits is striking. Dogs tend to consume their food quickly, often without much thought, while cats exhibit a more measured approach, taking their time to assess their meal before fully committing to it.

Mary Roach, in her book "Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal," highlights this difference by observing how cats will take a kibble in their mouth, sense it, and sometimes drop it before deciding whether to eat it. This behavior illustrates a cat's cautious nature and highlights its tendency to taste and evaluate food more carefully compared to dogs.
