It's just logic. A cat has infinite ways of exercising on its own and actually most cats do just that, so it's pareto principle to think about "playing fetch" as simply convenient way of exercising a chase something that incidentally involves a human throwing things rather than birds or mouse. A dog however simply does not do things on its own much, dogs are maybe even more social than humans and live in packs (dog owner is de facto pack leader). Play is more social for them. Take out peer/leader to play with and half the excitement is gone. Dogs generally would not consider mechanical ball dispenser equally exciting of a partner |
