It's a bufo aka cane toad, and yes it can be dangerous if the cat bites it and gets its secretions in its mouth. They are poisonous in a hallucinogenic way. Look up toad licking as a drug high, I kid you not.
My cats have learned. Dogs are more likely to make themselves seriously ill or even to die, but I can't say they are safe for cats to be around.
They will not stop eating the cat food. You have to move the food where they cannot get it.
Of course you can wage war on the toad, but where there is one there are most likely a plethora of them. Wait until you hear their mating call. [:0]
