...or twice, just to see if he would eat it. My cat has now settled that score. She was chowing away when I found this. I thought I would take the opportunity to find out if anyone else has ever fed their fish cat or dog food? Seems like someone has to have done this long term before, and other are likely to have strong opinions. I seek both responses...

We had a catfish for 5 years on catfood :) Just some native thing
 
Thanks for doing the searches, RD. I figured this is what the result would be, both that it would have been previously discussed, and that it would be strongly discouraged.

Let's redirect... How fast do you think I can grow my CAT if I stick to feeding her Hikari!?
 
With the protein level in that formula, your cat should be dead within the year.
LOL, thanks RD... If you knew my cats, you would consider them large already, and may consider shortening that timeframe. They aren't super fat, but they are large specimens, clearly not stunted by their tank size... They get Blue Buffalo Indoor Mature kitty food, and no treats. They always think the Hikari is a treat for them, and I guess this time, it was! I had offered them eat a Hikari pellet a few times when I first started using them, and they both turned their noses and wouldn't eat it, which made me happy. Figured I didn't have to worry about them chewing into the bag, but I guess I got sloppy and left the open bag in the room with the cat who was begging as if the bag were her treats...
