Actually I'm going to recommend against it. I know it's definitely bad on a long term basis as the food is totally off balance for a reptile and will result in some pretty terrible nutrition disorders. Including viseral gout, which is a result of the too HIGH protein content in the food resulting in protein waste products becoming deposited in organs including kidneys. This disorder is irreversible and fatal. And for that reason alone it really has no value in their diet. As suggested here by the above postee, there are far many more selects that are superior to using cat food at all. Even canned reptile food in a pinch is better than cat food.
