Why not? Dog food is edible for humans but doesn't taste good. Lesson learned?

Thats what i thought too. So i let my boy get some fresh cat food before the cats ate and guess what? Its not as bad tasting as i thoughts as he still tries to eat it all the time. On the other hand he frequently still munches on some sand from time to time so why would i expect anything else?

I've heard people on a fixed income will eat cat food if they fall behind on expenses and can't afford human food.

Thats right, its edible. But how do i tell my toddler to only eat fresh cat food and not the leftovers of the cats straight out of their bowl that were laying around all morning? And i need you to tell the cats that they will need to share from now on. I certainly wont be that brave.
