Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Cat Food lyrics by King Crimson

Peter Sinfield's website, songsouponsea, includes the meaning of the lyrics for it as well as the other tracks on this album, archived.

The song here is about how we have lost a natural connection with food, leading to food today being highly processed, cheap, and of no value. The name connects how the food of today is commercially processed and packaged, becoming indistinguishable from the food we give cats. We no longer seek heathy natural grown foods, but manufactured food that's not even fit for a horse to eat.
