I wouldn't put large amounts in a cold compost pile or directly in a vegetable garden. I can't cite a reference, but I've read in several places that dog and cat waste can carry disease and should not be used in a garden. But it won't last very long in a working compost bin (even human waste can be used in a garden if it's from a properly designed composting toilet.) Bob Hot composting is the key... Predator poop is going to be higher in nitrogen than herbivore poop, so can be useful but it really needs to be completely composted to kill possible pathogenic bacteria.
