Today, my cat ate the dog's food and is now very sick. For the third time. The first time he did it, I was concerned; second time, I was confused. Now I realize he's just an idiot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I once again walked in on my husband eating our cat's food. FML
Today, my dog climbed onto the dining room table to eat the cat's food. Then whined until I showed him how to get down. He does this every night. My dog is a genius. FML
Today, my cat tried to steal my burger. She was successful. She grabbed the patty with her teeth and pulled it right out of the burger. I was too dumbfounded to try and stop her. I have a suspicion that she is hungry and I forgot to feed her. FML
Today, my cat had a long dingleberry hanging off his butt. He decided the best way to get rid of it was to freak out and run around the house, shaking shit everywhere. To make it worse, he then licked his still shit covered butt, made a face and promptly threw up. Guess my cat isn’t the brightest. FML
Today, my cat has always been rather antisocial, but after his first trip to the vet since getting fixed, he's become talkative, clingy, and goofy. I'd enjoy it, if not for the fact that he's nearly hurt himself several times because he keeps doing stupid shit. He might need to go back to the vet at this rate. FML
Today, my neighbor went on vacation, leaving me in charge of his cat and dog. For some reason, he calls his dog "Cat" and his cat "Dog". There are two pet food containers, one labeled "Cat" and the other labeled "Dog". I have no idea which one goes to which animal. FML
Today, after being convinced that my cat had worms due to eating so much food and still looking really skinny, I found out that my neighbor secretly lets his dog in through my pet door while I'm at work. FML
Today, I realized that my dog is an evil genius. As I sat down to have a snack, he barked as if he saw someone outside. I went to check it out, but nobody was there. When I returned, I found my dog on the table finishing off my bacon sandwich. FML
Today, I spilled the bowl of cat food I'd just filled. I picked it all up in front of my cat, but he refused to eat any of it. I had to put the food back into the packet and fill the bowl all over again. My cat is a prince. FML
Today, my pet bird died. He had caught some illness and had been extremely sick for the past few days. He didn't die from the illness though. My dog ate him. FML

Apparently he gets it from his owner. If he got sick the first time why the **** would you let it happen 2 more times?

They sell electric food bowls that will only open if they read the right chip, either a microchip or one on the pet’s collar. If the cat eating and getting sick off of the wrong food is a recurring issue then getting one of those for the dog and leaving the cat’s food out normally may help fix the issue?

You could also only feed both pets at the same time, at set times, e.g. put both bowls on the kitchen floor at 7 am and 7 pm. The dog will wolf down his food, and the cat won't be able to go into it.

Cat food contains more meat and less veggies than dog food. Saying "food is food" in that context would be like eating hay because rabbits do it.

This, I cannot stress this enough, can be FATAL to your cat. Cats are obligate carnivores, they're not made to digest anything but meat. Cat food is designed this way. Dogs are omnivores, and their food does have things in it other than meat. Cats CANNOT digest dog food, it will make them very sick as you noticed, and your cat can die from this. You need to take steps to make sure this behavior stops completely. Someone else said having a designated feeding time, which is a good idea, but once the dog walks away, take the food. Do not under any circumstances just leave the dog food out. Most cats are smart enough that it's not as big a deal, but clearly yours is not (I have an idiot too so I feel you here) so you have to protect his life for him.
