Felines are actually Obligate Carnivores. That means their digestive system REQUIRES them to eat primarily animal protein, or their health will gravely suffer and they will die. Now, it doesn’t have to be 100% protein. If they were eating mice and birds in the wild, then the bodies of those prey animals would not be composed of 100% protein. But they would be primarily protein. So, when we feed our animals, we need to make sure that we keep their natural dietary requirements in mind.
