minus-squareCaliforniaSober@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 months agoI 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.
minus-squarePugJesus@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months ago So what’s in cat food? Meat or fish is usually one of the top ingredients if you look at the label.
minus-squareCaliforniaSober@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoBut 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?
minus-squarePugJesus@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 months ago But with a ton of extras… and why? 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
