Are cats omnivores

Answer 1

They are omnivores. Catfish that are generally portrayed as being carnivores or meat-eaters are best described as predators. In their natural surroundings these catfish would feed predominantly upon live foods, which in the wild would include other fishes. In most cases the stomachs of these catfishes are able to take a whole fish or other prey. Some of the larger predatory catfish may only feed once or twice per week or even once every few weeks, spending the rest of the time digesting their food.

Catfish that are generally portrayed as being herbivores or vegetable-eaters are best described, as we would be vegetarian. In their natural surroundings these catfish would feed predominantly upon algae, fruit and plants. Herbivores are described as not having a stomach, but instead have an expanded small intestine. These catfishes tend to feed often, and in an aquarium can be seen constantly grazing.

Answer 2

Answer:

Actually cats aren't omnivores. They're carnivores. Their ideal diet is a high protein meat diet, and the small amounts of other nutrients they require are theoretically provided by the diet that their prey has eaten. I say 'theoretically' because most domestic cats don't eat prey, of course. So if you look on the back of high-quality cat food you'll see it contains mostly meat with some supplements in it.

Dogs, like cats, are also carnivores, but are more scavengers and opportunists by nature. They can survive on all kinds of foods in addition to meat, including vegetables, fruits, etc. Some don't do well on high protein diets for prolonged periods, which is why it's not a good idea to allow your dog to eat your cat's food.

Answer:

Cats are carnivores. Their primary diet staple will be meat. That isn't to say they do not eat some plant/vegetables and in fact many great cat food brands will incorporate these items in the food.

Answer: Cats are strict carnivores but when they feel sick they will eat grass to make them regurgitate (they don't get any nutrients from grass, though). Cats get all their nutrients from meat-based proteins and fat, and any other nutrients from what their prey has eaten.

Answer:

All cats are obligate carnivores, which means they get all their nutrients from meat. Their ideal diet is a high protein meat diet, and the small amounts of other nutrients they require are theoretically provided by the diet that their prey has eaten. I say 'theoretically' because most domestic cats don't eat prey, of course. Look at the ingredients on the cat food and pick a brand that contains mostly named meat with some supplements in it.
On omnivore is one who eats everything--plants and animals both. So no, cats are not omnivores. Cats are carnivores. The only time a cat eats veggies is if it's in their cat food. But in the wild, cats only eat meat.

Answer 3

No, cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they rely on a diet primarily of animal protein to meet their nutritional needs. While they may consume small amounts of plant matter, their diet must be centered around meats to be healthy.
