Seriously, they're eating cat food and... Wood?

Doesn't look like termites... Unless it is.

Northwest Indiana, and definitely about 3/4 cm in length.

Bzzzzz! Hi, u/AloneYogurt! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug!
There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the geographic location and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames ("PNW", "Big Apple").

BTW, did you take a look at our Frequently Asked Bugs?

That was my initial thought, we get the adults in the house, butt they're not as... Fuzzy? As the photos I've seen.

Could be a specific kind of carpet beetle. I know black carpet beetles have less fuzzy larvae than varied or furniture carpet beetles.
