"The brain dead vegan needs to look up the phrase “obligate canivore”. Cats HAVE TO eat meat. I hope the kitten wasn’t given back to this veggie lackwit."

Exactly. Cats can't digest carbohydrates properly. That includes dry food. It's touted as "healthy" for felines, but it's high in carbs and is very likely responsible for many cases of diabetes in cats.

Absolutely! I had a vet that used to work for Purina or something like it. She helped to develop one of the dry foods. After she became a vet and her own cat got diabetes, she was adamant about not feeding dry food, even the one she created!

Sounds like cats have the same problem with a high carb diet as we can have with the government recommended high carb diet.
