It is important to emphasize the hunting instinct that they have, since in various cases will be present in the diet of our feline, being the cause of many diseases, such as toxoplasmosis. The cat is a hunter by nature, but even so many of them, do not hunt for food, because in the case of the domestic cat does not have the need to hunt animals to ingest, since the food is placed by the master, a costs of the animal eating it, however hunts as a sign of kindness and gratitude, it has been observed that the cat not only hunts to eat, but also to show their prey and take it as thanks.
The taste of this feline, is very different from the human and the dog, because they do not have the ability to differentiate the sweet, because it lacks a protein present in the taste buds that distinguishes the sweet, it is essential to know that, because we know that being a carnivore can not differentiate it and therefore it is not necessary, nor is it advisable to supply them.
Now, if we have a cat as a pet or wish to have it, it is elementary to know what it can or can not ingest? and because?
