It’s high in the meat proteins and essential amino acids (such as taurine) that cats can’t live without, and it may be just as tasty for your cat as rump steak is for you.Your cat loves it. If your cat has a preference for a particular brand and variety of complete cat food (‘complete’ is really important, we’ll come to that next), then that really is the top factor.

It’s specially designed to support a strong immune and digestive system, and helps to reduce tartar built-up. May be too tough on senior teeth and gums, though. Complete cat food must contain meat. I’m vegetarian but I’d never limit meat in my cat’s diet. Unlike humans, cats need certain amino acids, such as taurine, that can only be found in meat and fish. Some good-quality meat cat foods also contain veg such as carrots, and some cats enjoy this (my cat won’t touch it!), so I’ve included a meat-and-veg cat food product among the recommendations.
