in laika’s comet how much crossover is there between one’s “animal” vs “human” behavior? i made the comment on lucille & snakes assuming all furth people generally act/eat like humans (like laika eating pancakes). do they consume both diets? now im wondering if laika keeps kibble on hand as a fun little trail mix snack?? im genuinely curious thank u ^^;

theres a bit of a mix! almost all animals are now omnivores, but they still have preferences based off their animal diets. so, while cats do like things like fruit, berries, and a salad, they also tend to really like eggs and fish more than other foods. laika would probably keep trail mix on hand, less so than kibble - she likes to eat pretty much everything (while laika doesnt have a designated dog breed ive always imagined her to be a lab mixed with something else. considering snoopy mightve been a beagle but she no longer really resembles a beagle LOL)

so lucille, while she does eat food like all other furthians - her and mongoose furthians would have a taste for snakes that other furthians might turn their nose up to. it'd sort of be seen in the same way that eating small game like rabbit and squirrel is seen irl.

many people i know irl turn their nose up at the idea of eating rabbits, but i grew up with neighbors who did so regularly. its all dependent on how you grew up, what you developed the tastebuds for and what culture you were exposed to as a kid.

in the same way, i really love things like octopus, shrimp and squid and crab - part of why i made myself a cat, or a sea creature typically!
