Believe it or not, I feed my cat Beneful Dog Food and have for several years. My dog kept eating the cat food and so the poor thing had no choice but to eat the dog food, which he actually seemed to like (it is a kind of soft food). When I talked to the vet about it he said that Beneful is actually fine for cats as it is very balanced nutritionally. So I could keep on that way, and he has always had glowing marks from the vet.
