They\u2019re not silly.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Fish, turkey, lamb, chicken and beef are all essential meats for the well-being of your cat.\u00a0 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\u2019s main source of essential nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>I found it very interesting that Dogs don\u2019t\u2019 mind eating any types of food, whether it be plant based or animal based.\u00a0 They are very much like us in that way.\u00a0 However, cats are not omnivorous \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/whichisbestwetordrypt2.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/grossinvasionofprivacypt4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cats<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peteducation.com\/article.cfm?c=1+2142&amp;aid=2729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pet Education<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/obligate-carnivore-definition-554428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obligate Carnivore<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-food\/cat-food-wet-or-dry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wet Or Dry<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/cat-breeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cat Breeds<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.petfinder.com\/cats\/cat-nutrition\/wet-or-dry-cat-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cat Food<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pets.webmd.com\/cats\/guide\/feeding-your-adult-cat-what-you-need-to-know#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feeding Your Cat<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vetent.co.nz\/companion-animals-factsheets\/pet-food-cat-dog-food.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pet Food<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/why-do-cats-eat-grass-553934\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eating Grass<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/lifestyle\/cat-training-behavior-tips-socializing-shy-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cat Behaviour<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/inflammatory-bowel-disease-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cat Bowel<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kahootsfeedandpet.com\/cats\/cat-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supermarket<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 2 With cats we could be looking at lately \u2013 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\u2019t your cat deserve the variety as well?
