My cat eats puppy food. Is it safe? Should I be shampooing my cat?

Question

My cat keeps eating my puppy’s food. Will that affect him? If so, how can I prevent it? I also don’t know if I should be using shampoo on him or not. Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 5 lbs

Since designated puppy food is high in protein, your cat should be fine eating it. It is always better to feed cat food, as cats need different ratios of ingredients. I do not think you should wash your cat at all unless he is contaminated with gooey stuff or poisons. Cats are very proficient in cleaning themselves. If your cat is not cleaning himself properly, he may be ill and would need to be seen by a veterinarian for an exam.
