Are these sentences correct:
1-My cat eats everything.
2-My cat will eat anything.
3-My cat eats anything.
I am not sure that "3" would be considered correct in formal English. I think "2" is better but I am pretty sure people use sentences like "3".
The three sentences are exagerations though, since there is no way a cat can eat planets and stars and... I guess context limits the meaning of "anything" and "everything". Still, the meanings are vague. Does it chew plastic objects or not? Does it eat the carpet? Does it only eat stuff that is normally considered food?
