    That poor bastard has no idea what he’s trusting humans for, and he’s about to find out what a lifelong addiction to chemically-engineered trash feels like. 🥲😭

      I mean literally cats are carnivores, even the domesticated ones are 100% meat.

      So what’s in cat food? Taurine? Arginine? Cats can’t convert amino acids into vitamin A…

      Their food is way crazier than ours because we see a fluff ball and not an obligate carnivore.

        So what’s in cat food?

        Meat or fish is usually one of the top ingredients if you look at the label.

          But with a ton of extras… and why?

          I should hope my past comment showed I do look at the label… the food is not a straight tuna can.

          Last thing I want is to get into a vegan lion argument. What are you getting at?

            Because you can provide the necessary amount of meat for a cat without it being 100% pure meat, and being less than 100% pure meat:

            A. Is cheaper

            B. Is less calorie heavy (which is a concern with cats getting chonk)

            C. Keeps better, like pemmican
