The protein quota needed by the cat varies according to the tonnage, the breed and, in particular, the momentum / sedentary lifestyle that the cat has during the day.
Even if defining a rule that is always valid and all-encompassing is not possible, we can however say that the cat needs a really high amount of protein because it is an obligatory carnivore and, also, a wasteful. In fact, not all the proteins ingested by the cat are transformed into useful energy for him, some of them are simply not absorbed.
The maximum amount of protein defined practically does not exist because, if we respect the caloric needs of the cat and the correct intake of the various nutrients, we can vary the percentage of protein in its diet upwards without any problem.
Proteins, especially for cats, must therefore be the main and main element in the daily diet of our feline friend.
The interview with the veterinarian nutritionist Oscar Pellegrini will clarify further doubts, good vision.
