Dogs at least feel guilty after doing something like this. Cats have no shame at all. Claire should lock her up in a cage for a day to teach her a lesson, because she won’t learn it any other way.
Yeah, I agree Claire is the only one at fault here. And wolf, a dog cringing when you scold him and/or lock him in solitary doesn’t indicate guilt. Hungry animals will eat food that’s available to them; what a surprise.
Yes but you can train an animal to avoid certain areas and food. If you train them. My dog checks with me before he starts eating his dinner, and to explain he used to eat so much so fast that he was constantly making himself sick. So I made him stop and sit down and wait until I gave him the go ahead before he could eat some more. He now has a food puzzle which slows him down considerably and its a fun toy ;-)

cats dont learn from being locked up. She shouldnt have left her turkey out where the cat could get at it. Its completely her fault.

It was pretty stupid from a food-safety standpoint too. Under 40 or over 140, Claire!

Animals do feel emotions; they just express them differently. Google “dog body language” and see for yourself.
