Did you know that cat's are strict carnivores and need a large quantity of animal-based proteins - in other words MEAT. While, plant based food does provide some nutrition, Fluffy is engineered to get most of his needed nutrition from an animal source. Now, I know that vegetarians out there who own cats are going to shudder at picking up a pound of hamburger - the thought is repulsive, but remember, you don't have to eat it.
Consider a feline in a natural setting, in the wild perhaps. What would fluffy choose for himself? Would it be food containing a high level of carbohydrates? Absolutely not. Fluffy is an unabashed, hard-wired hunter - he wants game. Cats have no dietary need for carbohydrates and too much of them can harm Fluffy. In fact cats lack a certain salivary enzyme called amylase which is used to digest carbohydrates.
