Cat food should be made with meat that cats naturally hunt, like mice and songbirds, instead of things like tuna, deer, and duck. Somehow I don’t think that would go over well with cat owners though.

So… like by that logic, should dog food come in crap flavor?
Cat crap. Other dog crap. My crap. Chicken crap.

Now with added barf!
cat food is marketed to people and not to cats. cats are broke
also, where tf do you get farmed songbirds
I assume they were not farmed.
that just makes it even less available
Ye. Ngl, I had only half understood your “farmed songbirds” sentence when I first wrote that, so my comment didn’t actually make a lot of sense, sorry.
Yeah. You’re probably not getting farmed songbirds, without people flipping out. I assume it’s not hard to farm them, just horrible PR, because people aren’t as conditioned to ignore their suffering.
These things are already being processed for human consumption, and they’re perfectly nutritious for cats.
My idiot is going to need a “dust bunny with small stones” flavor.
Here’s the thing though, tuna is, for completely random reasons, absurdly tasty to cats, because it has both of their favorite flavor chemicals, that otherwise are always in different foods, in one.
So yeah, you know what? I would never want to deny my little asshole the opportunity to taste something unnaturally delicious.
“Here little girl, let your mind be blown in a way you could never experience in the wild. Now please stop eating plastic.”
My cat is allergic to seafood or something. She vomits every time she eats tuna cat food, multiple different brands. Land meat is never an issue though.
The cats here have had more than enough songbird flavored food. There are no more songbirds here.
instead of things like tuna, deer, and duck
Tuna and deer, ok; but are you sure cats are incapable of hunting ducks?
Chickens and rabbits are also small enough that some cats might hunt them (at least when they aren’t fully grown yet), and I’m pretty sure cat food with their meats does exist.
I was actually thinking of turkey, but wrote duck instead. I laughed out loud at the thought of my cat trying to take down a wild turkey.
Lots of good arguments in here for duck and tuna, but what the hell is Friskers thinking with Turkey and Cheese?
It mimics their natural diet in the wild of hunting roaming wheels of parmesan and violent flightless birds 10 times their size.
Catfood actually comes in three flavours: Gills and Fins, Beaks and Feet, Lips and arseholes.

“Oops! all cloaca”
My cats wouldn’t know what to do with a mouse if they had one. I had a cat (RIP Tasha) whose favorite thing was turkey. Every time I had some in the oven, she went apeshit.
I saw some cat food at a specialty store that claimed it was made of 100% rabbit.
Food food should come with non-marginal nutrient value.
I can’t be the only one who has thoughts like OP‘s without taking a shower.
Is this ADHD associated?
I used to feed my cat raw quails. Obviously they were feather free and I would tear them apart just so there wasn’t a mess on the floor but the cat very much enjoyed his meals.
Why feather free? I think it’s also good for the digestive system.
Because I would buy them from an Asian supermarket in a frozen 12 pack. I would also buy mature chickens for $3 a bird and cut them in quarters and hand feed those to my dog. It was very good for teaching him to not bite me when crushing the bones right next to my hand.

I wouldn’t mind the mice but songbirds? Too artistic to be sacrificed for my fat cat’s potential enjoyment, sorry. 🤷♂️
artistic
Have you actually read their lyrics?
Yeah it’s all porn, kinda lame really, but hey sex sells so no wonder they’ve built an industry around it.
