My 7-month cat only eats dog food. How do I get him to eat cat food?

Question

Hey. My cat has been eating dog food for the past few months. He's only 7 months. At first, I only gave him kitten food but he got into a habit of only eating my dogs food. He mainly refuses the cat food, either wet or dry, and I'm worried that it will soon affect him... what should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 7 days old

You should transition Oliver to cat food as soon as you can. Dog food is not an appropriate diet for a cat's system. Restrict access to dog food and feed a good quality kitten food. Choose one with a named protein source of animal origin. Serve it warm or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate his appetite. You can then transition hinm to an adult cat food when he reaches 1 year of age.
