Cats are obligate carnivores. But in the wild, they eat mice and rabbits—and these animals are vegetarians whose bodies are good at breaking plant matter down into essential micronutrients. Cats take advantage of this. When they consume their prey’s intestines and organs (and they do so with relish!), they are getting the nutrients “predigested." We try to emulate that whole process by using some vegetables that supply these crucial micronutrients and are highly digestible.
