Hello there. I'm Bobbel – and today I'm going to tell you why it's so important that you pay close attention to the food you give us cats.
Because what goes into our bowl determines whether we trudge through life fit, happy, and healthy. And believe me: meat is our best friend. Sugar? Not so much.
🐾 Our natural need – really meaty
We cats are true carnivores.
Our bodies – from our sharp teeth to our fine metabolism – are designed to utilize animal protein and fat.
We can only use vegetables, grains, or sugar to a limited extent. What we really need? Really good meat!
🍖 Why a high meat content is so important
1. Essential amino acids:
Only meat provides us with substances such as taurine – essential for a healthy heart, sharp eyesight and strong immune systems.
2. Our protein hunger:
We need more protein than many other animals. It helps us build muscle, jump, hunt—simply be cats.
3. Back to the roots:
Meat is what our ancestors ate in nature. And it's still the most natural thing for us today.
🚫 Why sugar is a no-go for us
1. Sugar makes you sick:
It brings us nothing – except trouble. Obesity, diabetes, organ problems – all of these can be caused by sugar.
2. Dental problems are inevitable:
Sugar sticks to our teeth, forms plaque and can cause painful inflammation.
3. Artificial taste instead of real quality:
Some foods try to make poor quality food taste good by adding sugar. But that doesn't necessarily mean real quality—and we cats notice that right away.
💬 Bobbel's tip:
"If you want me to stay healthy and purring happily by your side for a long time, then feed me food with lots of meat—and leave out the sugar. My heart, my teeth, and my stomach will thank you!"
🛍️ My little extra tip:
Look carefully at the ingredients list on the food.
First word = meat? Great!
Sugar, caramel, or molasses in it? Better keep sniffing!
