Cat Food

Cat food is formulated to address the specific nutritional requirements of cats, in particular containing the amino acid taurine, as cats cannot thrive on taurine-deficient food.

Famous quotes containing the words cat and/or food:
“like the cat I have nine times to die.
This is Number Three.
What a trash
To annihilate each decade.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
