it is the fundamental basis for maintaining the health of each form of animal life.
This short article will focus on the basics of the home feline diet.
Omnivorous animals (some more and some less) can survive brilliantly by managing various types of food based on environmental availability.
Everyone knows that an obligate herbivore (for example the cow) is not inclined to eat meat or derivatives. Likewise, an obligate carnivore (for example the cat) should not follow a vegetarian diet.
A feline fed with cereals, legumes, seeds, fruits and vegetables does not maintain the state of health in an optimal way.
In its natural state, the cat would not eat these foods. However, when raised in captivity, felines are subjected to "humanization", which induces an inevitable suppression of the animal instinct.
Moreover, the food industry has developed processing techniques that make ingredients of vegetable origin more palatable.
With a few small exceptions, it is possible to state that most cat foods, which contain cereals, legumes, seeds, fruits and vegetables, are of the dry type, ie kibble and kibble.

- Low water content.
