Did you know the cat food industry, and very likely even your vet, built and recommend modern feline nutrition guidelines on outdated research using rats with compromised kidneys?
Yes. Rats. 🐀
And now your feline is being fed like a carb-tolerant lab animal.
Let’s go further…
Did you know most cat kibble is actually more biologically appropriate for dogs than most dog kibble?
And even then, it’s still not great for a dog. 🤦♀️
Why?
Because: Dog’s need easily digestible high protein meals with a healthy amount of carbs and fat. Just compare labels and you will see for yourself.
🐀 Rats = omnivores🐕 Dogs = omnivores
🐈 Cats = obligate carnivores
There are two major reasons cats should never eat kibble:
1️⃣ The carbs are biologically wrong for cats. Most feline kibble contains an overwhelming amount of carbohydrates at levels cats were never designed to handle.
More than 2% of carbs in a cat’s diet causes:
- Feline Diabetes Mellitus
- Feline Obesity
- Chronic Kidney Disease in Cats
- Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease
- Hepatic Lipidosis in Cats
- Periodontal Disease in Cats
- Pancreatitis in Cats
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Cats
- Insulin Resistance
- Metabolic Syndrome
Cats are built to get their energy mainly from animal protein and fat, not a bowl full of starch and fillers.
2️⃣ Kibble is dangerously dry.
Felines cannot move their tongue around their mouths like a dog. Kibble gets lodged between their teeth and cheeks and causes dental disease.
Also, Cats evolved to get roughly 70%–85% of their hydration from food, not from a separate water bowl sitting across the room or a fountain, like a decorative suggestion. 💧
Dry food works against their natural hydration system.
So kibble doesn’t just feed them poorly, it dehydrates them at the same time.
Kibble is not “convenient nutrition.”
It’s a dry carb brick with a marketing budget. 🧱💰
