They really weren't on his priority list for pretty much .... ever, really. "Anyway I do eat other things, when I want to. There's this shop about, uh, twenty minutes that way, if you stop in around four in the afternoon you can usually get a free salmon sandwich, with mayo and a piece of cheese." With enough begging and sad eyes, which he had zero problem applying whenever necessary. At this point the shopkeep is aware he's another stray and it is a tribute to the spirit of human generosity that it's allowed anyway. "But worms are easier, and nobody fights you over them. The hard part is finding a place to store them so they don't spoil or turn into beef jerky. ...Worm jerky."
