You can get special 'hedgehog food' called Spike's dinner (lol) or cat food is ok ... don't feed bread and milk though as it is really bad for them :(

Yes! They are a rare sight nowadays and I would love to see them again like I did as a kid. Don' feed it milk (gives them upset stomach) but catfood and water would be the best for it. I can't see it having a problem with your cat and they would probably just mix fine as my cats do with a friendly fox that visits for scraps! You can buy wildlife type boxes from the pet shops (a wooden box raised off the floor for small wild animals) but if this is too farfetched for you then leave it where it is. You will be doing the hedgehog population a huge favour.

I should..it won't bother the cat and the cat will know better than to bother the Hedgehog.
They eat cat food too, so just put a bit out for it when you feed the cat, near its nest.

Cats and hedegehogs usually co-exist. Hedgehogs eat slugs and do no harm at all.. they are to be welcomed. You can feed it cat food(but not fishy ones) that is if the cat doesn't scoff it firtst. Try to give the hog somewhere to hibernate that is safe.. Under some logs perhaps, I leave my shed door open.

Your cat will stay away from the ground hog. It's a vegetarian, but it won't take any crap from your little kitten. You can try to feed the ground hog, but he/she will most likely like getting their own food.

Don't feed it, let it take care of itself. It's so nice having a hedgehog in the garden.
