∙ 15y agoCats living on their own will exploit nearby trashcans and dumps. They will also visit residences where pet food is set outside. Cats will hunt rodents and birds. They will also catch and eat larger insects, such as grasshoppers and crickets. A pet cat who is suddenly left to fend for himself will have a harder time than one who is born feral. Abandoned kittens will probably starve or be killed by a larger animal.

∙ 12y agoCats will eat anything that moves! Cats are generally good hunters so will eat whatever they cat catch. However, in a domestic setting, a pet cat will often eat cat food in some variant or another, which includes a variety of meat.
Cats are Obligate Carnivores. This means the main ingredient in a cat's diet must be meat. Cats must have amino acids which are found in meat, the most important being taurine. A diet lacking in taurine will slowly cause the cat to go blind and develop heart problems; thus they should not be on a vegetarian diet.
A good quality cat food supplies them with everything their body needs. Generally speaking, the best cat foods are the ones with a very high, named-meat content. They should be labelled by source, such as: Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc., as the first, or the first couple of ingredients.
It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals, Soy and various Sugars in their foods - cats have difficulty in digesting these and do not provide any nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Cats need meat-based protein, not plant-based protein. Cats will often overeat on lower quality foods with such ingredients in because they are not getting all the nutrients they need, which can result in obesity and other health problems which can drastically shorten a cat's lifespan and overall quality of life.
Homemade food is also an option, though your cat may not get everything it needs. This option requires a great deal of research in order to provide a cat with a complete and balanced diet.
