Would you eat your pet's food?

Would you eat / have you eaten your pet's food if you were hungry enough?


Just curious

Cornucopia

Yes

Yes, but most of my pet Degu's food is human food, anyway. (Nuts, Grains, Dried Vegetables, small amounts of dry Breakfast cereal and crackers).

His proper Pet Shop nuggets don't look at all appetising, and he doesn't like them much, either.

Not too awful long ago I made a lovely chocolate moussey thing - coconut milk blitzed with dates and cocoa powder. It's so lovely that I had to nick the odd taste with a fork - brown, fluffy, creamy... yummy.

My cats' cat food also looks brown, fluffy and creamy on a fork, as it happens.

Ask me how I know...

Um, I eat Bonios sporadically. Started as a way to make pocket money go further, & years later carried on to freak out fellow Uni students & now offspring!

Mum, being anxious, wrote to Spillers who reassured her that by law no food held out for sale to dogs could be injurious to humans & that I was effectively crunching happily at a large multivite.

That said, my uni mates did make what was referred to as a cats meat chili & I was having none of it. Largely as I'm a complete wimp about chillied dishes.

I have eaten my cat's food.

Nothing to do with survival, I was curious about how bad it could taste if my cat would rather starve than eat it.

It was pretty bad.

No - Not under any circumstances

Woof, woof!!

I remember one occasion an unforgettable loveable but 'eccentric' colleague made sandwiches, cat food filled claiming it was dark to see...

'Marmite doorstep' sandwiches of another smelt far better I am sure! And if desperate to feed you're cat you can crack open the average tin of tuna suppose so I have a pack in my cupboard just in cases for my girl who will be feed before I am.

Nooo haha can just remember the episode TV's Mr Bean attempted wine making with vingar & sugar!

Undecided

And what would my girl eat if i snaffled her food?? I would rather starve than have her go without.

Yes

I ate a cat biscuit once, I was curious how it tasted.

Suprisingly bland, like a slightly meaty digestive biscuit.

Yes if it meant survival

My cats eat raw meat but it is ground up with the carcasses of chickens so I wouldn't want to eat it.

I'd eat my cat's food if I really had to - OH often comments that she gets more protein than he does and he's tempted to snaffle a tin as it smells pretty good. She also gets the freeze-dried meat treats which say they're 100% chicken and 100% liver so if I was really desperate, I'd nibble on those.
