Why is my cat sick at night after eating garden bugs and dog food?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 9 lbs

My cat has been sick in the evening the last 3 nights in a row, other than been sick he is his usual self. I've noticed he has started eating worms and bugs from the garden whislt out during the day, he also seem to keep eating the dogs biscuits. Could these be making him sick or could it be something else..

Yes, eating those worms, bugs, and biscuits could be making Oreo sick. I would see if you can watch him in the garden at night to keep him from eating the bugs and worms, and keep the dog biscuits away from him. If this doesn't help, have him seen by a vet.
