I feel I need to share the story that always wins the Grossest Thing that Ever Happened To Me contests among my friends.
This happened not to me but to my best friend.
She and her folks and her dog were visiting relatives, who had a cat, and who lived quite a far distance away.
The day of the long car ride back home, they feared that their dog might get carsick so they didn’t feed her. The dog ate nothing that day - or so they thought.
Several hours into the car ride, my friend was having a delightful time playing with her dog in the back seat. She was lying on her back and the dog was on her chest. The dog was making funny faces, she reported to her folks - she hadn’t had the dog long enough to realize that what looked to her like a silly canine grin was actually the dog version of “I think I’m going to be sick.”
At which point the dog barfed the half-digested contents of the cat’s litterbox all over her.
Maybe the problem is simply that dogs haven’t actually yet seen exactly where those crunchy treats are coming from. Should you put a dog behind a cat and let it witness the snack extrusion process firsthand, I doubt they’d be so keen to gobble such “nibblies” down anymore.

When I was a kid, we had a dog that would eat anything, even after we had just fed it actual food. What is it with dogs? How/why do they eat such crap?
My beautiful silver mini shnauzer loved kittie turds. I had bent down to greet her and she bounded up to me with a “shit-eating grin” and clumping litter all over her beard. I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. Then came all the sneaky ways to prevent this from recurring–hooded litter boxes, self-scooping electric boxes, etc.
Yup! You make it yourself. It’s pretty similar to your litter cake. The cookies are chocolate, served on a bed of graham cracker crumbs (litter), in a litter pan for added effect. I’ll see if I can scrounge up the recipe.
I made that at my last family reunion. No one would eat it except my mom and my sister. Everyone said it looked too real. My mom and sister said it tasted like a big mushy cookie.
P.S. Be sure to serve with a litter scoop.
I bought a huge variety bag to get tootsie rolls out of, and it had a bunch of small tootsie roll type candies in various colors. Melting a lime one and making a bit of green poop was my gramma’s idea.
Thanks to another friend with a cat-poop-eating dog who coined the term, we now refer to our idiot lab who just loves those litter box crunchies as our “Fecal Gourmet.”
(How did you get the green bits?)
