| Please don't feed her cat food. It is rich in fat (as cats require it) and dogs should not be on it. There are many more reasons why it's not a good idea but you could google that up

| Good question! I've kind of wondered that myself. Ever since we brought Jackson home, he has tried to sneak some of the kittens' food ...and they try to sneak his as well. Why they go after each others food when they have plenty of their own is beyond me. I try to prevent it as much as possible, but I'm not always completely successful. So far I haven't noticed any ill effects on any of them, so I guess that's good.

| The puppy will try to eat the cat food if you dont keep it up out of its reach. My vet said cat food is too high in protein for dogs

| My roommate has cats.. and Wookie will run into her room to get a few nibbles of the cat food. It's hard to keep him away.. but he's never eaten enough to hurt him. |

| Gracie thinks kitty kibble are treats. She goes nuts over them. I have had to start feeding the cats "up", out of Gracie's reach.

| Dogs should not have cat food, so maybe you could put a baby gate up at one of the bedrooms and put the cat food in there. |
