Growing up is all relative.
I don’t know about eating dog food though hahah
My parents had a vet for their cats and he’d always recommend cat foods by saying they are tasty. My mom asked how he knows. And he says he tries it before recommending it lol he was so weird.
I always say I had to keep working or I’d have to eat cat food in old age. I don’t know if it’s cheap though. My daughter buys the most fancy gourmet food for her cat. I doubt it’s cheap lol
