The cat if it were free in nature would eat prey, because he, of course, is a carnivore.
We take it for granted and established but it is worth remembering as some breeds have become so domesticated and “housewives” that it seems strange to imagine your Siamese snapping, capturing and eating prey.
The cat is naturally predisposed to hunt , in fact it has an instinct, a bone-joint and muscle structure perfectly designed for running, jumping and, as we all know, climbing. All this to reach prey even in the most unthinkable places.
When choosing your cat’s diet, keeping this factor in mind is really essential because, evidently, in the cat’s natural diet, proteins far prevail over other nutrients .
Particular is the discourse on carbohydrates as, in nature, the only ones it would eat would be those present in the stomach of its prey.
Watch the interview with the veterinarian nutritionist Oscar Pellegrini for more details and curiosities.
