Dogs don't plan for particular future events although they have a general expectation of when dinner will appear.

My dogs know exactly what time dinner occurs, within minutes. Horses, cats, goats, and cattle do as well. Only the switch to daylight savings time trips them up. Don't mess with dinner time.

Never to attempt a change to a hungry cat's dinner schedule. Change the meal time instead.

Funny. I started leaving food out at night for some raccoons, since I saw them eating from our cat’s bowl.

Now, every night at 6:30pm they are waiting for me on the porch. I feel like dr. Doolittle. They walk in front of the door and look in if I am late.
