Yes, they do. Domestic cats aren't all that different from big cats such as lions. Pet cats, like their wild cousins, get all their nutrition from meat-based proteins and fats. They have exactly the same type of teeth that is perfect for tearing and rendering flesh and crunching up bone, and the same digestive system that is efficient at breaking down and gaining all needed nutrients from fresh, raw meat, organs and bone.
