What do cats like to eat for breakfast？
Breakfast is the beginning of the day, providing you with the energy to start a day’s work.
As a cat owner, have you ever thought about your cat’s breakfast? Can it meet your cat’s needs? What do cats like to eat in the morning?
In this blog, we will discuss your cat’s breakfast and help you learn more about how to care for your cat.
Are cats omnivores?
Different from dogs, cats are obligate carnivores. They absorb the energy available by consuming other animals.
Cats have a higher protein requirement than other animals. Wildcats just eat meat by preying on animals, such as rodents, birds, small reptiles, and amphibians, to meet their needs. Taurine, arachidonic acid, vitamin A and vitamin B12 are essential for cats and they can’t be obtained from plants or vegetables.
In case of deficiency of these nutrients mentioned above for a long time, your cat risks skin irritation and hearing loss, and even liver and heart problems.
Hence, the ideal food for cats should be rich in protein and fat from small prey.
Do cats need breakfast?
Of course, cats need breakfast.
A healthy, nutrient dense breakfast will be the most important meal of the day for your cat.
There is confusion: Cats are nocturnal. If you have met a wild cat at night, you must have seen the cat's eyes shining in the dark. Or you might have found your cat keeping barking in the middle of the night.
However, reality has demonstrated that cats are neither nocturnal nor diurnal. They are crepuscular: active primarily during twilight (the period after dawn and before dust). So, cats do need a healthy breakfast to keep healthy, just like humans.
