RE: Cats, Veggetarian or not really ? - Marilyn

[Guest guest]

Dear Marilyn,

 

Liz's dogs are vegetarian.

Rachel's Golden Labrador, Molly and Chester are too.

All are fit and in good health.

Like cats, they are also meat eaters in the wild.

 

I have not come across a Vegetarian Cat.

Maybe I haven't been looking out and asking Cat owners.

 

I will take note and ask my cat-owner-friends.

Will update you regarding this matter.

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee

Thanks Donna :-)

 

Cats should never be fed totally vegetarian. They were meat eaters in the

wild, and their digestive tracts demand real meat!!

Hi Donna,

 

What a stunner you are :-)

I like your bob hairdo, nice<<<smile>>>

That is one beautiful cat you have there :-)

Christie's cat is very colourful.

Both cats are very fit and plum, heh :-)

Is your cat Vegetarian?

I am also wondering if Christie's cat is Vegetarian or not Vegetarian.

 

Best Wishes,

Wee

Now you can click on Christie's folder to see her

kitty girls. Go to my folder and you can see my Koko

the Siamese King.

I don't have Cheryl's pictures yet.

Have a great weekend,

Donna

 

She was coming flirty; She looked about thirty

I would have run away, but I was on my own

She told me later she's a machine operator

She said she liked the way I held the microphone

I said, my! my! my! like a spider to a fly

They are, but a dog's natural diet is more omnivorous than a cat's. A

cat requires large amounts of meat, and large amounts of taurine, that

a dog just doesn't need to be healthy.

I just saw a post about " 24 years " and just assumed you had a dog but

later read that you had a cat. Sorry.

I had a friend who had a big bobcat. He fed it cottage cheese,

broccoli and brewers yeast and maybe some other things but no meat or

taurine. the bobcat went blind and he gave it to a refuge.

Dogs and cats are not strictly carnivores in the wild,

they are oppotunistic omnivores, all my dogs and my

cat eat veggies. They eat at least two green smoothies

a week. I often see both the dogs and the cat browsing

on wild edibles in the pasture. According to studies I

have read, cats and dogs in the wild will eat edible

greens to supplement their diet when meat is scarce or

their bodies crave certian nutrients they may be

lacking.

It sounds like your animals eat better than most people. I've seen

lots of dogs eat tall grass including our dogs. do you know why

they do that? It seems they mostly go for the grass.

I was always told when a dog or cat eats grass that they have an upset

stomach and that it helps expell what ails them.

Yes, and this is the reason for pure pumpkin in the diets of dogs and cats

who cannot get the grass they need.

Our Vet has told us that when a dog or cat eats grass, it is because they have

an upset stomach and it will usually make them throw up and then they feel

better. Interesting huh? I know I've seen our cats and dogs throw up after

eating it before.

My cats eat grass too, GB. They particularly seek out the long

coarse grass that will cut you like a paper-cut. They chew on that

then come back indoors and throw up in the middle of the living room

floor. Often it is becase they have furballs but I think it is also

good for their digestion. You can buy pots of grass (no, not THAT

kind of grass) to grow for indoor cats to graze on and they love it.

i think it is some kind of wheat grass. Some plants obviously just

taste good to cats. I had one who swung from a curtain to eat a

jasmine plant in a hanging basket. I came home to find a couple of

stumps left in the soil and the cat had scoffed the rest, flowers,

leaves and all. It must have tasted as good as it smelled.

My cat eats hay (i have guinea pigs and a rabbit as well) but she doesn't throw

it up. In some cases I think thats why they do it, but I also think they do to

get a bit more fiber in their diet. I've known several dogs who will graze on

grass outside and not throw it up, but apparently just eat it because they need

the fiber. My mother's dogs used to do that all the time but now don't eat

grass nearly as often...I can only assume this is because they get ground

veggies as part of their raw diet. They will, however, eat it when their

stomachs are upset because they are empty, mostly to give themselves something

to throw up.

 

yummy subject, especially for a food-focused group, lol.
