alright, so I must admit that I don’t have all the answers, however that doesn’t mean that I can’t find them…Anyway, I digress, my point is that while I was cleaning up a bit I thought of a very good question which I’m sure has a very mundane answer…
Why is it that dogs will gladly eat cat food, but cats generally will not eat dog food?
I ask this because out darling little pain in my ass (Chevy, the dog) has challenged me to find a place to put the cat food that our 17lb cat (Tuna) can get to without requiring an act of Congress. I have put it in the closet, the kitchen (which he’s not allowed in or left to his own devices and bad ideas at night), the little cubby behind my headboard (that he still has yet to discover and I am simply amazed that our big ass cat can even get in and out of), and finally now on the bathroom counter…which I’m not fond of once I discovered a cat hair in my mouth after brushing my teeth that I couldn’t seem to dislodge for two and a half hours. I know that it’s only a matter of time that he figures out how to jump onto the toilet and then onto the counter…My only salvation is that my boys seem to be physically incapable of putting the seat down, let alone closing the actual lid. So at least I have a little while to think of a new place, however this house is so damn small that I’m running out of options! And forget that nifty new invention that requires a tag on the animal’s collar and will only open the food dish for them, because Tuna is one of those cats that goes into complete panic, follow you everywhere you go meowing incessantly if she can even remotely see the bottom of her food bowl. I know what you’re thinking, and no I did not create this monster, she was like this when we adopted her…I have tried my damn’est to keep her on the same feeding schedule since the day we brought her home…She gets fed a cup of food in the morning when we get up and that’s it…otherwise we’d be buying pony food! Chevy on the other hand receives the same amount of food (since they are ‘supposed’ to be the same size) in the morning , but I only have to fill his dish every 2-3 days…Perhaps he’s simply full from all the damned cat food he’s been eating!
So if anyone has any ideas, please I beg of you, send me a comment…I am spending a fortune on cat food since I refuse to feed my animals cheap crap food filled with corn, wheat and byproducts they can’t even seem to identify on the label. I swear, some of these pet foods are far worse than Bologna or Hot dogs…and they have lips and assholes in them, seriously…how much worse can it get? What other bi-products are there that aren’t fit for human consumption?…. NO, wait, never mind, I’d rather not know. If I can’t imagine it, it’s got to be pretty bad. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about that part because I don’t buy those brands.
Alright, once again I digress…So please if anyone knows why a dog will eat cat food but not vice versa that would be great, however if anyone has any ideas on how to keep Chevy out of the damn cat food that would be even better.
