Best Answer

No cat is an omnivore. An omnivore is a term given to animals that will eat both plant matter and other animals, such as bears, pigs, humans, mice, rats, badgers, etc. Every single cat, no matter what species or breed it is, is a carnivore.

Cats are called obligate carnivores which means they must eat meat to survive, as meat and other aspects of prey (such as organs and bone) supply all the nutrients and moisture a cat needs. Plants do not offer any nutrients to a cat at all, and they have trouble digesting such foods. While a cat may occasionally be seen eating grass, it is thought it is for medicinal purposes as it helps settle or clear the cat's stomach.
