If he used to eat it, that is neither present simple nor present continuous; it's a past tense.

You can't make this a guessing game as to whether the correct answer is "essen" or "fressen." The tips section tells us "fressen" is for animals and is only used to insult someone if used for a human. In every other exercise with an animal eating "fressen" is the verb used. It is marked wrong if "essen" is used. Why is this different?

why here it's die katze isst DIE maus, while der hund isst DEN vogel? what is the difference? (i mean why isn't "der vogel", the parallel to "die maus")
You have to memorize it. There are a lot of random ones it seems, but this has helped me, especially if I had to make an educated guess: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ak8kffdi9qbhIRN5m6XcqYVtNMSiATSdXfA0Ceq2GgA/edit?usp=sharing

I would have expected each Stage to be an advance in difficulty. In fact they consist mainly of repitions from earlier Stages.
