I mean literally cats are carnivores, even the domesticated ones are 100% meat.
So what’s in cat food? Taurine? Arginine? Cats can’t convert amino acids into vitamin A…
Their food is way crazier than ours because we see a fluff ball and not an obligate carnivore.
Meat or fish is usually one of the top ingredients if you look at the label.
But with a ton of extras… and why?
I should hope my past comment showed I do look at the label… the food is not a straight tuna can.
Last thing I want is to get into a vegan lion argument. What are you getting at?
Because you can provide the necessary amount of meat for a cat without it being 100% pure meat, and being less than 100% pure meat:
A. Is cheaper
B. Is less calorie heavy (which is a concern with cats getting chonk)
C. Keeps better, like pemmican
PugJesus gon' getcha with those facts!
I have an extensive range of absolutely useless trivia I can pull from 😎
Fellow ADHDad? 😉🤪
No kids, but plenty of ADHD.
Plenty of ADHD...
