What do cats love to eat?

Answer 1

All cats are Obligate Carnivores. This means the main ingredient in a cat's diets 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.

Cats should regularly eat cat food, which 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 first two ingredients.

Aside from meat, the amount of moisture in a cat's is probably the most important part. While strictly not a food item, cats have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their food. Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.

Cats also eat other things if they have access to outside, such as mice. Also, cats naturally will eat bugs around the house or outdoors, such as Spiders and flies. Although cats will eat bugs, it should not become a meal for them. Be sure you still feed them cat food daily.

Answer 2

All cats, no matter the breed or species, are obligate carnivores, which means they must eat meat to survive. Meat provides a cat with everything they need: Protein, essential fats, vitamins and other nutrients.

For pet cats, it is ideal to feed them a diet of high quality pet food that has a high quantity of meat and meat proteins in. Named meat sources are considered best and provide a better quality of protein, and should be the first thing on the ingredients list. Plant matter, such as corn, wheat, soy and other cereals should be in either a very limited quantity or not present at all; cats cannot gain any nutrients from plants and have trouble digesting them.

While not a food, water in cat food is also very important, if not one of the most important part of a cat's diet. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by), so therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own.

Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.

Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet should consist mainly of animal-based protein. They typically enjoy foods like meat, fish, and poultry. It's important to provide them with a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs.

Not all cats eat the same thing... Domestic cats tend to eat things like chicken and fish(meat) and wild cats tend to eat mice and rats and other wild things(plants and animals)

They mostly eat cat food if its a inside cat. If they're alley cats they would eat anything they can find-living and non living.
