Greedy Dog Sticks Tongue into Cage to Steal Food from Cat: "Licking the Air" Leaves the Internet in Stitches, Highlighting the Disparity Between Effort and Reward

The scene of a dog ignoring the barrier of a cage and insisting on sharing a meal with a cat has left netizens both amused and bewildered. Is the food in someone else's bowl just more appetizing? Recently, a user on Weibo uploaded a humorous video featuring a greedy dog unable to resist the temptation of food, attempting to steal from a cat even while separated by a cage, transforming into a "long-tongued monster" in the process.

The video shows an orange cat eating inside the cage while the dog stretches its nose through the gaps, desperately trying to lick the cat's food. Despite the cat's good temperament and lack of retaliation, the dog seems to have failed to snag even a piece of chicken after all its efforts. This led netizens to joke, questioning whether the dog was merely sampling the taste.

Viewers found the scene hilarious, leaving comments such as:

• "Air diet therapy"
• "My effort does not match my return"
• "Spent 200 calories without eating a bite"
• "Is it on a diet?"
• "Licked more than what drooled"
• "Cat eats meat, dog drinks soup"
• "Anteater used to be a dog, right?"

This dog's meal effort can be described as "not worth it," as it exerted so much energy yet ended up with nothing substantial from another's plate, rendering its attempts futile.
