Cat Facts
Can cats taste sugar?
No. Cats can’t taste sweets/sugar due to a genetic mutation that leaves their sweet taste receptor undeveloped — because cats are obligate carnivores with a diet that doesn’t require sugar.”
Are cats omnivores or carnivores?
Did you know that cats are obligate carnivores? They are built to consume diets high in animal-based protein, balanced fat, and low to no carbohydrates.
Yet, many mainstream feline diets are packed with plant proteins, carbs, and starches that cause serious damage to a cat’s kidneys and digestive system, which can lead to inflammation and conditions like CKD and diabetes among others.
What does a cat really need from their food?
It comes down to three things:
● Satiety: Helps cats feel satisfied and reduces overeating (nutrients metabolized slower)
● Health: Supports weight management and lowers diabetes risk
● Energy & Well-Being: Fuels vitality and promotes emotional stability.
Scientific research proves that high-protein diets help preserve lean body mass, enhance satiety and promote metabolic stability. These outcomes directly support feline health and longevity. A diet rich in quality animal protein helps cats stay active, alert, and healthy.
What are the health benefits of a low carb diet for cats?
Low carb diets help fight feline obesity, diabetes and fatty liver syndrome.
