This post hits the center overlap on the Venn diagram of my biggest interests — diet, cellular metabolism, health, food, anthropology, and cats. My favorite blog, by a veterinarian who investigates the minutia of (human) metabolic chemistry, recently had an article about this exact thing—taurine and cats. "Chicken fillets are not meat. If you're a cat" http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2023/05/chicken-fillets-are-not-meat-if-youre.html
Thank you for another excellent article. The last time we had a pet dog, we fed him only raw meat. His muscles rippled; his eyes were bright; his coat shone. He also got an occasional egg, or a tiny bit of a vegetable, a drop of iodine. To be blunt, anyone who feeds their cat a vegetable diet is either nuts, stupid, or both. How cruel! Myself, I like to eat organic grass-fed beef, chicken (rarely) sardines, and unprocessed vegetables & fruit. I do love fish, but can’t trust a lot of it these days; so I mostly only eat the fish my brother catches in a spring-fed lake here in Wisconsin. Sugar and grains don’t seem to promote health.
