    choose to eat dog food??

    because of the recently adopted kittens,
    i have two bowls of food in two different
    locations for the cats (some of you may
    have seen this first hand).

    but occassionally, the fucking cats will
    sit at the dog food bowl and eat from it.

    why???

    change?

    taste?

    dietary needs?

    ideas?

    Odd.. Our dog eats all the Cat food and wont touch his dog food. And the worse thing is that lil bag of cat food cost like DOUBLE what the damn big ass bag of dog food does.

    i'm going to agree with Jason here, last time i checked, cats don't read their food packaging labels to determine what kind of food is in it....it's food, they eat, they are happy.

    you two are fucking lame.

    its not as simple as reading fucking labels, nimrods....

    its about preference.

    both kinds of food are available... so why choose
    the dog food?

    shit... do i have to point it out?
    or is it that you think you are so damned clever
    that you feel justified in making such a stupid post?

    Our kitten eats the dog food..because it does everything my dog does..dog eats..cat sits in empty bowl next to dog and eats with him...dog
    drinks..cat drinks..dog sleeps..cat attacks dog..its a vicious circle... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

    No clue why they seem to like dog food..might be that they want it all..are afraid the dog is getting something they arent..hmmm...what if cats really dont like fish?????? [img]eek.gif[/img] I mean who ever proved a cat preferred fish in the first place..and have you noticed 90% of cat food is fish flavored... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    that reminds me....

    it reminds me of that type of dog food with
    lamb, rice, carrots, peas... you know, that
    stew flavored shit.

    i know it comes in a crunchy food... but i've
    also seen it in canned (looks like beef stew
    on the picture).

    there was only ONE time i ever purchased that
    soft food... and my dog refused to eat it....
