our cat eats our dog food all the time. other than being a bit fat she's fine
Please try and transition your car to a gasoline diet, dog food is unhealthy for them :(
I have a solar cat that only gets 10 minutes of activity for every 4 hours left in direct sun.
Depending on the miles per kibble I might want to transition my car to dog food
While on paper the miles per kibble is higher with equal weight, as mentioned above it makes the car fat. With so much extra fat on the car, you ultimately end up with a lower miles per kibble as compared to the typical gasoline diet. Unhealthy!
The reason dog food is a no for cats isn't because it's harmful if they eat a kibble or two, but because dog food isn't fortified with an amino acid cats need, taurine, so feeding a cat exclusively on dog food will result in a type of malnutrition in the cat.

she doesn't exclusively eat it. she eats his biscuits now and then if I don't put her food out fast enough...
So what do you eat, if the cat eats your dog food?
We have human food too
