Part 2

With cats we could be looking at lately –

  • Holistic and organic diets
  • Food that comes in tins
  • Food that comes in cardboard boxes
  • Food that comes direct from the Butcher
  • Dry food
  • Semi-moist food

Such a variety, but then doesn’t your cat deserve the variety as well?

Of course they do. They’re not silly.

You know, recently I did a wonderful chapter on that amino acid Taurine for my health website and I was so pleased to find out that Taurine is actually something that is really good for your cat as well.

Taurine comes from the muscle meat of animals and cats need that muscle source of meat in the diets that you present to them on a daily basis simply because they are known as Obligate Carnivores.

Fish, turkey, lamb, chicken and beef are all essential meats for the well-being of your cat.  Each of them are muscle tissues from an animal other than itself and in order for your cat to thrive, then food based on these named here will help to keep your cat in tiptop condition. You could say that meat is a cat’s main source of essential nutrients.

I found it very interesting that Dogs don’t’ mind eating any types of food, whether it be plant based or animal based.  They are very much like us in that way.  However, cats are not omnivorous – their bowels are a lot shorter than ours, therefore they do not possess the ability to assimilate into their digestive systems nutrients that have their source in plant material. For a short period only, they could possibly get enough protein from plant material; however, their need for taurine has far greater significance in their lives if you wish them to have longevity while they live with your family under your roof.
