The Importance of Animal versus Plant Proteins for Cats

As true carnivores, cats are unable to effectively utilise plant proteins. They are less digestible, incomplete and unsuitable to felines. They are also less bioavailable and less nutritionally supportive. Cats need animal-based protein – and lots of it – to maintain health and optimal functioning.

What Would Cats Choose to Eat?

Most of us feed our cats ultra processed, man-made diets that are very far removed from their instinctual diet. Have you ever wondered what house cats would choose to eat if they could? A research study into food selection revealed that cats consistently chose nutrition over enjoyment.

What Should House Cats Eat? And Why?

The best diet for strict carnivores, such as house cats, is NOT the ultra processed, man-made, commercial food we feed them. Cats SHOULD eat carnivore appropriate, unprocessed foods, free from chemicals and synthetics. They should eat the food their biology evolved on – the way nature intended.

Why do Cats Chew on Poisonous Plants?

Cats love plants. Luscious gardens make the perfect hiding spot. Bored indoor cats constantly search around the home for interesting things to play with - plants included. Cats are drawn to plants and there are some surprising reasons why they will chew on even the deadliest of plants.

Interesting Topics

Why do Cats Eat Grass? And Should They?

Cats across different species – big, small, domestic and wild – actively seek out grass or greenery. There are many theories about grass eating – some more compelling than others. The bottom line is that eating bits of greenery fulfills a purpose to felines and is normal behaviour in healthy cats.

Why Does My Cat Eat Vegetables?

Cats are de-programmed from eating their natural, instinctual diet. They are instead programmed to eat a variety of carnivore inappropriate plant foods used in commercial diets. Cats are so misguided that they no longer recognise their ancestral food and simply eat what is familiar to them.

Can Cats Eat a Vegan Diet? - Pt. 1: The Dangers

NEVER feed house cats plant-based diets. As hyper carnivores, they need quality animal protein for health and longevity. Plant nutrients simply don’t cut it and cats are unable to utilise them effectively. When forced into vegan or vegetarian diets, cats can become seriously ill.

Can Cats Eat a Vegan Diet? - Pt. 2: The Ethics

Cats Should NEVER be forced to eat plant-based diets. Not only are they harmful to the health of cats, but there are many ethical implications. Why? Because vegan diets for cats perpetuate other forms of animal cruelty.
