Multi-use Pet FoodFeeding the PetsOf course we all know what cat food, both dry and canned are used for, feeding cats. Use cat food for other purposesI have cats that love to watch the birds out of the window so I have discovered a way to avoid buying bird seed, and that is by using some cat food for feeding the birds. I used to feed the birds but what a messYears ago I used to feed the birds. The commercial bird seed was always making a mess. It had mites living in it and would get moldy. Some would sprout, making a weedy grain garden that I would have to deal with. Waste is a problem with bird seedI did at that time , and still provide water for creatures outside. My problem with the bird seed was more of a maintenance issue, because the birds would often toss a lot of the bird seed out on the ground from the feeder. This and just the sheer volume of seed hulls would cause endless maintenance issues. Birds eat a lot of different things, including pet foodBirds love dry and some canned pet food. I have always noted that they dig into the dog or cat bowl and grab a kibble or two. No more Wasted Cat Food or bored catsSo now what I do is I gather up the left over cat food, that the cats left, both dry and canned and place it outside where the birds will eat it. This gives the cats a show to watch, feeds the hungry birds, and takes care of excess cat food. The birds are fed and the cats are occupied watching them. It is a win win situation.
