The nutrition your cat needs
Cats are carnivores and have a high demand for protein.
In the proportion of nutrients required by cats, protein accounts for 35%, fat accounts for 20%, and the remaining 45% is carbohydrates. Humans have only 14% fat, 18% protein, and 68% carbohydrate.

Taurine – Essential Nutrient
Cat’s taste is different from that of humans. Salt is bitter in cats’ taste. If the cat food is mixed with too much salt, the cat will not eat it.

What would be saltier? – Taurine

For cats, taurine is an essential ingredient in cat food. This ingredient can maintain the normal vision of cats at night and is also good for the cat’s heart.

In the past, cats liked to eat mice and fish because the protein of mice and fish contained a lot of taurine.

Therefore, if pet owners feed cat food for a long time, they must choose cat food containing taurine. Deep-sea fish contain a lot of taurine, so when buying cat food and looking at the package ingredients list, try to choose cat food with deep-sea fish in the first place.

Deep-sea fish also contain unsaturated fatty acids, which are very good for cats’ fur health, especially long-haired cats such as Persian cats, and more attention should be paid to increasing the intake of unsaturated fatty acids in their diets.

Generally speaking, the protein content of cat food suitable for adult cats should be around 30%, and the protein content of kitten food should be higher, generally around 40%. Starch is an inevitable addition to cat food puffing, but try to choose cat food with less starch content.
