A fluffy white Bichon Frise lies on a carpet gazing away from a torn foil bag of cat treats spilling across the floor. 25 / 34

The Cat Treat Bag Was Torn Open on the Carpet. The Bichon Saw Nothing.

A foil bag of cat treats lies torn open on the beige carpet, little brown nuggets scattered all around it. Lying just behind the evidence, a white Bichon Frise with a perfectly round, cotton-ball head stares off to the right with great concentration, as if the empty hallway is the most fascinating thing in the world. Her curly coat looks freshly groomed, her dark eyes are bright, and her black nose points firmly away from the scene of the crime. A pair of sneakers, a doormat, and a blue towel on the floor in the background complete the picture of a quiet afternoon gone sideways.

Plenty of dogs find cat food and cat treats irresistible, mostly because they tend to be richer in protein and fat than dog food. A few stolen bites are rarely a big problem for a healthy dog, though they may cause an upset stomach. Over time, though, eating cat food regularly is not ideal for dogs, since the nutrient balance is designed for cats, and the extra fat can contribute to weight gain or digestive trouble. Feeding cats on a counter, shelf, or in a room with a cat-sized door, and storing treats in sealed containers, can keep curious dogs out. Dogs with sensitive stomachs or a history of pancreatitis should be watched more closely.

This little Bichon may be convinced she got away with it. The crumbs on the carpet tell a slightly different story.
