 CAT FOOD

Mine ran over and was eating my cats food. She did it several times. There were no problems just gave her her greens to help pass it. Now I keep the cat food and her far apart. As long as he/she is still passing food (pooping) it should be fine.

i wouldn’t think it would hurt it that few times...you let yours roam free? i learned the hard way that’s not good...you cant tell what they are eating...my Iggy is so ill from eating stuff she shouldn’t...be careful

(vet bill so far 300 bucks and this weekend she goes in again and will cost another 300 im sure...maybe more...she ate metal ): )

i agree. unless you can set up her living quarters in such a way that she won’t possibly eat anything she shouldn’t. than it’s best to keep her in an enclosure. she will probably be fine if she only did this a few times. animal protein damages thier kidneys long term but a few times won’t harm her.

Mine only runs free when I’m supervising that’s how I know she ate the cat food. Who knew an herbivore would like chicken flavored weight control formula, maybe she thought she was getting fat LOL.
