1. Dog food
is not good for cats. It doesn't have enough protein. Cats are pure carnivores. And has too many carbs which cats can't digest.

5. The reverse is true also, btw
Cat food has way too much protein for most dogs. A dog can experience kidney failure if it eats cat food regularly (especially if it's a small dog).

3. My vote
Feed the dogfood to your roommate, and go out and get some catfood for your cats.

7. Get them the food that they usually eat.
Most cats have a hard time switching foods. That's why a cat's poo will smell worse if you change the cat's diet, and will smell less if the cat eats the same thing all the time.

Also, dog food is really not good for cats and was posted above.
