Thank you all for your suggestions. The cat doesn't eat the dog food so that shouldn't be a problem at all. The dog tried to eat the cat food but it is off the ground and out of reach of the dog. I just don't have many places to put the litter box off the ground unless I build something to put it on.
The litter box that has a wall around it and a hole on top is a great idea, my only problem with that is the cat is huge and I have to find something really big so he is comfortable getting in it. He is 14lbs and my dog is 15lbs haha.
Mono sodium glutamate.
MSG,
You could mix it with 10% wheat whey .
It's the same thing as For-Bid.
sprinkle some on the cats food( a teaspoon) every feeding it will give the poop a bad taste.
We use it all the time for pups who think it's a good idea to eat poop.
I ended up making my own swinging baby gate using wood, hinges and and latch from the hardware store. The dog doesn't have access to the back half of the house where the cat food and litter is and I don't have to step over or move a traditional baby gate. There are some baby gates with built in little door but I am cheap

Reason: fixed spelling
This is what I meant when I said "It will make the cat sick."
That's what I figured.

This is not a good idea. MSG is not good for cats, horrible enough for humans imagine what it would do to a tiny cat body, nor is wheat whey. A cat should not eat either.

I use inexpensive plastic four tier shelving for litter box platforms.
Instead of four tiers I make them just two, placed together (drill a couple screws underneath to make them stay together) They make a nice platform for litter boxes, with space underneath for another box or storage of litter supplies. I cover the platform with an old shower curtain, then newspaper.
I don't recommend that hole on the top box for a large cat. I would think he would find it very uncomfortable, which could lead to health problems and litter box avoidance. Use a high sided sterilite tote box, without the cover, that a cat can jump in and out of easily, but the dog will not be able to.

If you have a JRT remember that they can jump the moon from a stand still, so keep that in mind when you decide what to do.
My beloved JRT Gator (RIP) could jump over 5' from a stand still and give you a kiss on the cheek without any effort at all.
Yeah, he's not a real jumper unless I am walking in the door from work and he's excited. Even then, he only jumps to where his head is just above my waist and I'm 5'6".
I think I am going to check out that plastic shelving and if that doesn't work I'll do the box with the tall sides because I doubt he will just into it. Even the one on the ground he won't step in.

1. Is For-Bid safe for puppies, pregnant dogs and lactating dogs?
Yes. The ingredients are safe for all types of dogs. We have many breeders using it on their newborn puppies with no complications. 2. Are there any problems with keeping my dog on For-Bid long-term?
No. Use the full dosage for 5-6 days then decease the dosage to a 1/4 pack per day. If you have a small dog, you can decrease it further. As long as there is For-Bid in the stool, the dog should respond. There are dogs who have been treated with For-Bid for months. 3. If my dog has not stopped stool eating after the initial 6 days should I keep him on the For-Bid?
No. If your dog is not responding after 2 days, you should try changing the dog food. If this doesn’t work, consult your local veterinarian for further action. 4. Is For-Bid safe for cats? Yes. We recommend 1/4 pack per day for 4-5 days. If there is a dog eating the cat’s stool, you must treat both animals with the For-Bid.
When a dog is eating other dog’s stool, or those from a cat’s litter box, we recommend treating both animals with "For-Bid"™ to curb this habit.
