    Effectively, you can eat everything a cat eats. It might not exactly be haute cuisine but there’s nothing an omnivore couldn’t digest but a carnivore could. Cats are much more selective with their diet than humans - and for good reasons.

      Someone I knew who’s anosmic would get their cat to smell food for them, and if the cat turned away would discard it.

        Sounds like a good idea. Cats have some extra sensoric mechanisms for smelling that humans don’t, so even without such a condition you’re better off trusting your cat’s judgement when it comes to meat quality.

    They put beef jerky in bags that are exactly the same bags that they put dog and cat treats in. Whenever I go to the store and I’m waiting in line and the bags of beef jerky are there, I usually pick one up and start shaking it to see if any men come running. Do you want a treat, you want a treat?
