Tip 6 - Vegetarian
cats - not a good idea
Although we humans may
choose a vegetarian diet and can live quite comfortably, a cat
cannot.
No matter how opposed we may be to the idea of eating meat we should not pass
this ideology on to our cats.
Unlike
humans who are omnivores (meat and vegetable eaters) cats are
natural carnivores (meat eaters). In fact cats are called obligate
carnivores because they NEED to eat meat.
In order to stay healthy
they need the nutrition that can best be found in animal tissues,
or cat foods made with meat.
