What Do Cats Eat For Basic Nutrition?

If you think cats eat just fish and mice as in the books, you are wrong.

Like us, they do eat anything so long as they satisfy their hunger. Like vegetables, rice, potatoes, fruits, bread, biscuits etc.

Even luxury stuff like burgers and pizzas. So what you see in Garfield movies is not entirely fiction.

Like us humans, they do get tired of eating the same food again and again and want a change of taste.

But that's not the point. The point is how much and how often you are going to feed them to avoid they are well-nourished and not overweight.

Re: What Do Cats Eat For Basic Nutrition?

Research has been done extensively, which has resulted in the mass production of cat foods, some better and more species suitable than others.

Human food is for HUMANS, and is not nutritionally balanced for the feline species.

Yes cats may LIKE to eat some of the things we do, but only a small amount as a very occasional treat.
