Red meat, or any meat, is fine. I have one cat that is 19 and he prefers cat mince (beef or kangaroo) to canned or dry food now. He also still likes raw chicken wings (its good for their teeth: cats can chew on chicken bones which are not cooked: cooked ones splinter and its not good for their intestines).
Maybe your friend confused red meat with cooked chicken with bones in? and just thought no meat?
Either way, your friend was half right! But it has NOTHING to do with sugar content (as someone suggested)...and cats do eat wildlife (small birds, lizards etc) so they have no problems with raw meat. Male cats can have trouble with dry cat food (even ones labelled as good for urinary tract health) because they can develop crystals which block their urethra. This can cause internal bleeding very quickly into the bladder and they end up either dying, being put down...or operated on to shorten their urethra (and lose their penis in most cases. That happened to my 19 year old when he was 7...although his urethra was repaired and his penis intact, his bladder backed up with 350ml of blood...and the operation and aftecare cost us over $700 at the time. And we got him straight ino an animal hospital (it would be on a weekend!) as soon as he started haemorrhaging.
By the way, domesticated animals still have their instincts and the physiology they were born with, they have not evolved past that after only a few thousand years hanging around people!
