Yes, my son likes to partake in nibbling on our cat's dry food, however Mary Cay (mamma) isn’t really thrilled about it. I (mommy) always thought it's "not" going to hurt him, right? It makes me giggle to hear over and over "Chase stop eating the cat's food" he does however, avoid nibbling on the moist fishy kind of cat food... THANK GOD. But, I started to think how bad can it be if a toddler nibbles occasionally on cat food? To my surprise; it's not a good idea, in fact it scared the shit out of me to find out what it can actually do! So, for all the parents out there! Like me think it won’t hurt....I would suggest not allowing your kids to partake in nibbling on any dry pet food, whether it be dog, cat, rabbit, or fish, yes... I truly believe my son, Chase would even eat fish flakes, because Mamma does have such yucky knack actual Asian cuisine... yes, it can be confusing, but I came upon this article from Organic Authority and was convinced it may hurt him.
