Why do domestic animals get excited to eat the same food over and over again?

Not all of them are. I’ve had, and have now, finicky cats who need some brand & flavor variety to keep up a healthy appetite.
Also, pets’ excitement at mealtime has as lot to do with the ritual. Cats love rituals of all kinds, not just food-related. Fascination for daily activity patterns is built into their brains; it’s essential for hunting.
I don’t have as much experience with dogs, but I imagine the social dynamics of mealtime are important to them. As for us too!
