My Cookie can only think of one thing:
Yummie Cat Food = Yummy Cat Poo and digs right in when she gets a chance. I'm so happy that I'm not the only one with this problem, and I'm so happy for the advice given here. We have baby gates all over the house to keep a curious Golden out of trouble. But somehow she just manages to get into either the cat food or the litter before anyone even noticing...
