Trew or False

If we can eat it and live on it, cats can eat it and live on it.

Meghan feeds her cats veggies.. WE ALL DO

cornmeal.

I think the real picture here is... cats won't eat squash because they
prefer the turkey giblets in gravy...

I am starting to feed my cats table scrap veggies... I have to admit,
they just let them lay there.
Jupiter will pick up a few pieces and toss them up... but.. no go.

Cats fed on a "human" diet would go blind and then die for lack of taurine.

Mine get fed meat scraps of the plates, but they do turn their noses
up at anything else they are offered. In fact one of them (Belle),
won't eat anything expect the odd bite or two of wet cat food..Her
main diet is dried Pets @ Home complete..
Who's cat turns away fresh chicken...?
Belle is the only cat I have ever been owned by that won't even try
it!!?

I feed our cats meat left over from meals.. they turn their noses up
at the rest of it. In fact I have one cat who won't go near cooked
meat at all, Belle...she will tolerate a few bites of kitty chunks now
and again, but that is it....
She eats Pets @ Home dry complete, & nothing else... if she gets the
choice

Cats, unlike humans and dogs, are obligate carnivores. They're more
different from us than any other domestic animal. A cat fed a healthy-
for-humans (healthy-for-dogs) diet would first go blind and then die--
lack of taurine, most notably but not exclusively. A certain amount
of roughage aids digestion of the meat, but they don't get nutrition
directly from the vegetable matter. You're not "feeding" your cats
table scrap vegetables; you're OFFERING this garbage to them, and
they're sensibly refusing it.

Yeah, I know, but it's worth repeating in case someone unfamiliar with cats
reads this.

I wasn't criticizing you, CN. When Barry puts a stupid question out there,
of course you have to answer it. Just the fact that he raised it might mean
to some people that there's nothing wrong with feeding their cats what
they eat--onions and all, no taurine and all. Despite the fact that there is
an entire industry built upon the fact that cats have different nutritional
needs.

Thank you CN, nooo, I didn't know that about taurine.

Well, for real.. it's not that often, but if they like peas.. that's
ok ain't it?
We talking table scraps.

Then.. ever time I cook ribs and stuff they get the big bones to
woller.

Lis

you're ignorant.

So far, Sheelagh and CatNipped are the only ones who post with a
"normal" non-judgmental reply.

What's wrong Lis? or do I even need to guess
