đ± Cat Fact: Vitamins Come from Meat
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat to surviveânot just for protein, but also for essential nutrients like taurine, vitamin A, and arachidonic acid.
đ„Š While vegetables may seem like a natural source of vitamins, cats canât digest plant nutrients well. đĄ Unlike humans, cats need many of their vitamins pre-formedâalready âready to useâ as found in animal tissue.
So yes, cats need vitaminsâbut not from veggies. Thatâs why high-quality cat food is carefully formulated to meet feline nutritional needsâwithout the salad bar.
