You asked about why dogs want cat food. Cats are true carnivores/carnivore obligates and their food is higher in both fat and protein than dog food, where dogs are more omnivorous. In fact, if you had to, you could make your dog a vegetarian as long as you balanced the food so it was getting all the amino acids, but cats can't do that as they cannot digest vegetable proteins.
Dogs that regularly eat cat food can get pancreatitis which can be fatal, but they love the stuff because it is so high in fat and protein to meet a cat's needs.

Looks like maybe Incan or Mayan ruins?
A time gone by. Beautiful.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Anne. Big hug. ♥
I think Inca? That is the mountaintop village. Amazing
Machu Picchu? That is somewhere I always wanted to visit, but I won't be getting there now.
Machu Picchu, it is quite an interesting place.
