It is not recommended to feed cats vegetarian cat food. First of all, cats themselves are carnivores, and animal protein is their main source of energy. Although vegetarian diets also contain a certain amount of plant protein, cats are not good at digesting and absorbing plant foods, so it is difficult to obtain energy from them.
Feeding cats vegetarian food for a long time can easily lead to malnutrition, weight loss, and reduced immunity. Secondly, vegetarian cat food contains a large amount of starch and cellulose, but the amylase content in cats is relatively low. Therefore, eating too much vegetarian cat food can easily cause cats to suffer from indigestion, constipation, flatulence, abdominal pain and other symptoms. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal growth and development of cats, it is recommended to feed cats cat food with higher meat content, or you can also make homemade cat rice with meat and vegetables for cats to eat.
