          Because humans can make educated decisions for themselves.

          Housecats lack that ability.

          ** arguably many humans seem to as well.

            They have better judgment than dogs. Many dogs die from biting poisonous cane toads, but cats almost never do, because they leave the toads alone.

      They love it because it very similar to their mother’s milk, but it lacks the nutrition they actually need.

          Lol my cat’s the same. If I have a glass of milk, she’ll find a way to lick the rim of the glass if I don’t stop her

            Things my cat will prefer over her own food:

            • meat of any kind;
            • potatoes;
            • soup;
            • wet sausage;
            • soft pastries, especially if they have butter in them;
            • sour cream, or any cream for that matter;
            • sauerkraut.
