What is the primary diet of a domestic cat?

Cats are awesome ! I have adopted many, oh, not at one time of course.

My black cat Polara is resting on my lap as I play this game.

My chickens were free ranging at one day, and two of my cats decided to get in a play fight. One of the chickens saw them and ran over and jumped in the middle of them and wound up chasing one of them around the coop. It was funny to watch a chicken chasing the cat.

Yana, the more the merrier. I have 5 now but have had 10 for many years. Never a dull moment

Feral cats are a major problem in Australia. They kill many animals every year, so much so that some animals are critically endangered.

I LOVE kitties !

Tom, I would imagine that they know what's good for them. Well most of them. I am sure that you love them,and I know that they love you too. They all have their own characters.

Right ✅️ US, There's still cats in the world, Thank God 😊. They are loving,affectionate and loyal. They know when you need them and they are there for you.

Yana, Yada Yada, What happened to them all, not enough meat to go around ?

That should read "cake fiend"

Yes, cats are obligate carnivores but they also choose to eat other things. I have had many cats in my life and one loved tortillas (so much so, he was nicknamed Tortilla Tom) one loved to eat small pieces of cake and one loved boiled potatoes, she had the nerve to steal them from plates. Before anyone says that they'd live longer without these item, Tom lived to age 20, came friend lived to 18 and tattie girl lived to 19. My oldest cat lived to 24.

Oh what a beautiful cat! Just like mine, a blue colour point, even though the points are actually grey!

Tom, I wonder if cooking the meat takes the nutrition out because if they hunt they eat it raw.

I'm really starting to see that maybe my cute baby bro might be a cat!! more and more he loves to eat meat!! he is a carnivore!! not a omnivore!! ( ha just kidding!! but actually! I'm kinda not at the same time because he eats a lot of meat!! some I'm joking 90% but not 10%)

I cook meat for my cats to eat. However, it doesn't stop them from eating vegetables. They raid the vegetable scraps bin, for the garden, and pull out things like pumpkin skins. The meat is in their bowls and they are sitting on the kitchen floor eating pumpkin skins.

Miss Sue, You say " loved" I assume that she has passed away, sorry for your loss. However I just wonder if you provided the correct diet for a cat ie. meat? Fries are fine as an occasional treat, my cat loves cheese...OCCASIONALLY!!! Please read the reason that cats MUST have a meat diet. Excluding accident or illness, cats should live to 18 or more years.

That's not true! My cat loved McDonald's fries! Miss Kitty would knock them right out of my hand to get to them.
