Cats are classified as "obligate carnivores." An obligatory carnivore must consume meat. You can't simply let her graze in the pasture. Proteins from meat have had their digestive tracts shortened and optimized for cats. They simply lack the oral and digestive equipment required to consume plant materials. Given their physical incapacity to assimilate plants, it's remarkable that cats still nibble on them.every now and again. There are several hypotheses as to why cats might chew on plants. They may be attempting to balance an upset stomach or supplement vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Maybe they just enjoy the flavor. Perhaps it is a mix of variables. The verdict is still out on this one. Fortunately, we no longer need to go out and search for food to feed our cats.There are several excellent, nutritionally balanced pet diets available at pet shops to suit every cat's preferences. When possible, provide high-quality meals. It really makes a difference in your pet's health and looks. Choose one that your cat enjoys and stick with it. Cats don't need a lot of variation.
