Can cats not eat pork?
Quite clearly, cat food seems to be derived not from what cats would
eat but from what humans eat: beef, chicken, turkey, tuna, etc. However, I also notice a conspicuous absence of one very popular and common human staple from cat foods: pork. Why is that? Can cats not eat pork? Is it harmful to them? |

Can cats not eat pork? Is it harmful to them? Mine love it, particularly to gnaw on the bones and it hasn't hurt them any way I can see. -- "In 2005, the refining margin...has exceeded $20 per barrel, far above the long-term average of $6.

A pig is a filthy animal Sure bacon tastes good, and yeah sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie but a SWINE is still a filthy animal I mean, what other animal rolls in it's own feces.. Just my thought on it |

Why is that? Pork biproducts by and large go into hot dogs and bologna. They are too expensive for cat food. Can cats not eat pork? Is it harmful to them? They can and will eat pork. My cats love pork. -L. |

Your point has been duly noted and has been taken into consideration; uuuhiiiii think you're up to something.. JUST say it. You fed your cat a pork chop now that cat is sleepy as hell and you're scared |

Why is that? Can cats not eat pork? Is it harmful to them? A couple of thoughts. Laws and regulations regarding the handling of pork and pork scraps a animal food abound and differ widly from place to place. Vendors would have to be especially careful which stores got the pork products and who handled it because of the religious prohibitions surrounding it - you could not ship it to stores in Jewish or Muslim areas, nor could it be handled in transit by observant Jews or Muslims. Mistakes could have serious consequencies. -- T.E.D. ) SPAM filter: Messages to this address *must* contain "T.E.D." somewhere in the body or they will be automatically rejected. |

The other person is right pork is an expensive by product unlike a cow where
every part is used some how My cats love it when we cook up a ham they get the fat off of it. And ignore some of the other trolls that I can see responded WE do |
