Cat eats birdseed. Will it hurt him?
Have you ever know a cat to eat cracked corn and bird seed? The kitty from next door has been had been hanging around the ground feeder and I thought he was trying for dinner on the wing. Then I noticed that no he is eating the bird seed, not just sampling it chowing down and coming back for more at least 3 times. II have never seen a cat do that in all my years of having cats. Now I know this cat eats well of the finest food in wet and dry and has no lack of anything his person knows he needs or wants. So why and equally important will this hurt him?
I was not expecting to find hm dead under the feeder. My concern was whether it could cause digestive blockage and long term problem since some of the birds we feed seem to prefer ground feeding he is getting more than a few scraps...more like a few tablespoons to a quarter to a half a cup.

Been watching cats do this for over 45 years and have yet to see a dead cat under a bird-feeder. I have no idea why cats do this - they just do. Maybe they just want some fibre in their diet.

Maybe he thinks if he has bird seed inside him, the birds will go after it and he won't have to chew them.
