Story at-a-glance (courtesy of healthypets.mercola.com):
- Cats are obligate carnivores who thrive on meat-based, not plant-based diets
- Recent research reveals cats have taste receptors for bitter flavors, which were assumed to be of use only to herbivores as a way to detect toxins in plant matter
- It could be that bitter taste receptors help cats detect toxins in or on prey animals. They may also help protect against internal toxins
- It’s important that cats eat regularly, so even finicky kitties should always be encouraged to eat
