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

They’re not. At least not mine. If one of my dogs doesn’t have variety, he’ll just ignore his dinner.
We feed our cat wet food and we have to switch the flavors every box or so as she gets tired of the flavors and stops eating them
I wonder if they have fewer or different taste buds than we do? In the wild, I can see needing to know if food is safe to eat, but do they really need to differentiate between salty and sweet?
I have to wonder if they experience taste like we do. My pups eat poop. No one has ever said poop tastes good, so why? It can’t taste awful to them or they wouldn’t do it more than once, but we as humans won’t even do it once.
Animals enjoy food, and when your primary source of food is administered by your caregivers and you have absolutely nothing else in your life to look forward to, you get excited for meal time.
I went to county jail and asked myself the same thing, but lord when they called for chow I was excited to eat even shit on a shingle or the donkey dick sausage or the scary-aki.
They don’t. My poodle demands flavour. Have to mix dry with wet, add cheese, add chicken. Make it interesting dad!
Do you get excited every time you get to eat ice cream despite being an adult?
Humans have eaten the same food over and over again for thousands of years. Only in the last 100-200 years have we had diets that were actually varied.
Because the food tastes nice, I’m exactly the same, after a few beers I smash a keebab! Been doing this for years
My cat with go bananas for a meal once and then completely ignore and let the same exact type of food go bad the next meal. Its completely impossible to figure out which food he will eat at any given meal and which he will ignore.
