Is that not more to do with the risk of injury and energy expenditure of hunting rather than them wanting to have a day off?Because I think it's good for carnivores to have a gut cleanout day.
Wild carnivores don't eat every day. They hunt, gorge themselves, then fast until the next successful kill.
I'd have thought that if you gave wild carnivores the option of eating every day then they'd definitely choose that. If wild carnivores make a big kill they'll eat constantly for a few days until it's gone before hunger and desperation drive them to take the risk of hunting again.
