feeding a cat a diet that is biologically incapable of meeting a cat’s dietary needs

We've been putting supplemental taurine in cat kibble for decades.

Just because there is supplemental taurine in cat kibble doesn't mean that's the only thing they need from their diet. Just get a different pet jfc

How many live mice do you feed your cat?

[-] evranch@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

That's practically all my cats eat! I only put cat food out in the winter or if they start to look slim. All summer they eat mice and sparrows and get fat. (Note that sparrows are a terrible invasive pest and removing them has a positive impact on the local ecosystem)

They are barn cats though and that's their job so it's a little different from the pet cat situation.

It's a little known fact, but if you killed an animal yourself, its meat is vegan.

[-] parrhesia@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

I don't feed her any, but she willingly hunts for them.

Taurine is usually singled or because it is the only nutrient required to meet the AACFO cat food guidelines that can not be readily sourced directly from plants.
