It is perfectly natural for a cat to eat half of it’s food and then go and devour another pet’s food. Cat’s will just about eat anything and it must just enjoy dog food, although I would not recommend feeding your cat dog food, as it could lead to health problems, due to the fact that dogs and cats both need different amounts of protein and nutrients in their diet.

If this continues to happen and you are still concerned, try changing the brand or type (If you feed it wet, then try feeding it dry, vice versa) of food and watch over your feline.

It is okay if it has a couple pieces maybe, but it can’t be all the time. The cat needs the nutrients from it’s food. As we often say, “Cats are not small dogs.” In the case of diet, it is important to realize a cat’s nutritional requirements are much different than those of a dog. For example, cats require higher levels of protein than dogs. Cats must have the amino acid called ’taurine’ in their diet; dogs can actually make their own taurine. A cat eating food deficient in taurine can develop severe heart disease and other health problems. Almost all cat foods now contain added taurine. Plus, cats need more vitamins than dogs. Cats require a different form of Vitamin A than dogs do. Dogs can use beta-carotene as a source of Vitamin A; cats cannot. Cats can not manufacture the fatty acid called ’arachidonic acid’ and must have it supplemented in their diet; it is not essential for dogs to have this fatty acid in their food. So, you see, if a cat is allowed to eat a significant amount of dog food, the cat would be eating a diet deficient in many of the cat’s required nutrients. For your cat’s health, be sure she is eating quality cat food.
