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.

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.
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.”
Lots of good arguments in here for duck and tuna, but what the hell is Friskers thinking with Turkey and Cheese?
My idiot is going to need a “dust bunny with small stones” flavor.
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.
The cats here have had more than enough songbird flavored food. There are no more songbirds here.
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.
So… like by that logic, should dog food come in crap flavor?
Cat crap. Other dog crap. My crap. Chicken crap.

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.
These things are already being processed for human consumption, and they’re perfectly nutritious for cats.
Farming song birds for cat food sounds expensive.
It’s going to cost at least 10x what you’d pay for chicken. I don’t think there is enough demand for it
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?
Chicken: cat could theoretically take down a small one
Fish: some cats catch fish
Those are the best options imho
