no, they will not get sick, it isn't very good for them,but they do love it (why, I have no clue) the contents of catfood have too much ash for a dog.: the same goes for most cats,they love dog food, maybe not enough protein for cats.
Yes, a cat can get sick from eating a diet of dog food. Dog food can seriously malnourish a cat after a period of time. Cats have far more nutritional needs than a dog and dog food doesn't contain these essential nutrients such as taurine. A small amount of dog food will not harm the cat, but this must NEVER consist as part of cat's daily diet.
Cats need a diet consisting of a high meat content - probably more so than dogs. Meat is mostly made out of Proteins and Fats, and cats use these as their primary energy source. Here are a few things that are present in cat food that are not in dog food:
Taurine: Cats cannot synthesize this compound (unlike dogs and most other mammals), so they must get it straight from meat. Animal tissues such as poultry and fish are natually high in taurine. Not enough taruine in the cat's diet can lead to heart problems and blindness.
Vitamin A is another component cats cannot produce. Dogs can use a compound called "beta carotene" (its what gives fruits and vegatables such as carrots the red-orange colour) and turn that into Vitamin A. Cats cannot. They need to get Vitamin A from meat.
There are also number of fatty acids cats cannot synthesize in their bodies but dogs can, so feeding a cat food specially made for them is the safest option as all the nutrients are included in the food.
Cats won't necessarily get sick from eating dog food once in a while, but dog food doesn't have the necessary nutrients a cat needs to give the cat a proper diet. You should feed a good name brand of cat food.
Dog food can seriously malnourish the cat after a period of time if the main diet consists of just dog food. Cats have far more nutritional needs than a dog and dog food doesn't contain these essential nutrients such as taurine.

YES! it depends on how much you eat. If you eat quite a bit then there's a highly large chance of winning a free trip to go to the hospital!
It depends on what the cat was eating if you will get sick or not. If the cat ate some of your fresh mashed potatoes that is OK, but if the cat was eating rank sour day old unrefrigerated fish better purge it.
yes she wont eat and when she does she has the the runs
Feed it bad food
nothing bad it just means that the cat ate or drank some thing that is not good for them and it made them sick

it was probably because it was the wrong brand of cat food for your cats
They fell into a deep sleep and woke up in Utah. One of them was named Byrant and he had a can of cat food and a cat. They were hunry....so they went to McDonalds and ate some burgers while Byrants cat ate his food.
The possessive adjective "its" would have the plural "their" or "theirs". Neither uses an apostrophe. Example : "The cat ate its food. The dogs ate their food." Example: "The car was theirs."
Chickens cannot vomit - however, if you give a chicken too much cat food, it will make them sick.
yes she is probly dieing... this happened to my cat by a food recall
Yes it depends on the type of flower though. Flowers can be toxic to cats especially Lilies. It will take a couple days for your cat to actually get sick. (if they do get sick from eating the flower, not all cats get sick from them but most do.) If your cat is sick take him/her to the vet as soon as possible for the cat could get kidney or liver failure.
Give it food, water, shelter, and love. If it is sick, get it to a veterinarian.
