My dogs love cat food, they'll steal it before they'll eat their own food. However, since they would have to eat so much more of the cat food to be full it's WAY too expensive to feed to them. But I don't know if it is necessarily bad for them.

OK, I posted your question on another forum, that is populated with vet techs and such, and they all say that cat food isn't good for dogs, as the nutritional needs of each is so different. Also one of the replies said that the cat food gave her dog really bad breath!
