My husband always samples it before he gives it to the cats.  He says some
would be really good on crackers.  I'll pass.  :~)

I have to admit, I've never been tempted by cat food, but when I had dogs,
some of their varieties were almost too good to resist. (I'm not talking
about Milk Bone Dog Biscuits: my cousin and I snacked on them more than
once.) I particular I seem to remember a chicken variety of dog food that
smelled delicious.

I think all the food I feed my cats smells gross - I'd have to be pretty
hungry to be tempted to eat it. (They seem to like it just fine, though.)

Still, as Gabey8 wrote, there are plenty of people living in poverty who
end up eating dog or cat food because that's all they can afford.

Hope she's OK. :(

On that note, here's an oldie but a goodie:

Once upon a time there was this guy who worked night shift. He had worked
nights most of his life and all he asked of his wife was that he have a
snack in the fridge each night when he got home.

Well one day his wife was feeding the dog some food from a can but the
dog didn't eat it all so she put it in the refrigerator to feed to him
the next day. When the husband got home and looked in the rig he saw
what he thought was some sort of spread and he began to eat it with some
crackers.

The next morning when he got up he asked his wife what kind of spread was
it she had left for him the night before. She couldn't tell him it was
dog food so she told him it was some new spread they were trying out at
the market. He told her he really enjoyed it because it was light, tasty
and made him wake up feeling frisky. He told her he liked it so much that
she should try to have it for him every night when he got home.

Well, the next day she went down to the market and bought a whole
shopping basket full of dog food. When she got to the check out stand the
checker asked her if she had got a new dog since she was buying so much
dog food. She told him her husband had come home the night before and ate
it, liked it and she was going to have it for him every night. The guy
tells her that dog food is not good for human consumption and if she fed
him too much dog food it would kill him. She said "nothing hurts that man
so just ring up what I have in the basket."

Every month she would go to the market and buy a whole shopping basket
full of dog food and the guy at the register would tell her the same
thing, "you're gonna kill your husband feeding him that dog food." Each
time she would tell him to ring it up because nothing hurts that man.

Well one day she comes in and doesn't buy any dog food. The guy at the
register says "What's the matter, you're husband get tired of that dog
food?" She says "No, my husband passed away 2 weeks ago." The checker
says "I'm sorry to hear that, but I told you that dog food was gonna kill
him." She says "No, it wasn't the dog food, one day he was sitting in the
street licking his balls and got hit by a truck."

I really don't know if this would be true in China anymore.  But it would
have been true in the US not all that long ago.

I can't imagine that a foodstuff unfit for human consumption can be legally
imported into the US.  I mean what are we going to do with it if not consume
it in some manner?
