Your house predator

Whether and you know, what at your liked kitty who cosy purrs nearby and substitutes the silky backrest, pressing for weasels, it is a lot of general with the feral tigress inspiring pavor to all who will meet on its path? No, from this at all does not follow, that your favourite at any moment can turn to a furious blood-thirsty animal. It is just necessary to remember, that yours питомица as, however, all cats on light - both big, and small, both house, and feral - on the physiology remains a  predator.

And it means, that the organism of your cat is perfectly adapted for digestion of meat and not calculated absolutely not on a vegetative ration. That of it to be convinced, it is enough to make small digression to the cat's anatomy.

About the predatory nature of a cat speaks first of all a constitution of its dens (and them at an adult cat 30): they are calculated on dressing extraction and to cut its sharp jagged ridge meat on scraps. The big help in this hard business is rendered also by tongue. It is covered by the become horny papillas which transform it into similarity of a coated abrasive and help an animal to pinch from bones the meat rests. By the way, a cat facultatively carefully to mince nutrition (therefore it does not have masticatory dens), she can engorge it directly scraps. The cat's esophagus perfectly adapted for awake reductions, easily advances them directly in a stomach.

As well as at all predators, a stomach at cats single-stage, and the gastric juice which in him is excreted, is so sated by the ferments disjoining of the squirrel on amino acids, that without the special problems digests the pieces of the meat which has entered a stomach. And here the ferments designed for digestion of carbohydrates, here practically it is not excreted. Because in the nature the cat consumes vegetative nutrition in very circumscribed quantities.

The intestine of a cat is one more evident acknowledgement of that fact, that our small house predator has no attitude to Herbivora. After all the length of its intestine fluctuates in limens from 1 to 1,8 metres and exceeds length of the cat's body on the average in 3 times. And 20-30-метровый the intestine, for example, goats exceeds length of a body of an animal 20 and more times that is necessary for digestion of vegetative cellulose.

In general, and good state of health it receives all beneficial materials which are necessary for a cat for health from meat and fish so the nature has disposed. So your house predator never was and does not become the vegetarian: vital squirrels of an animal parentage and practically are not necessary to its organism carbohydrates, that is every possible graminoids. And as in the conditions of city apartment successful hunting, the main task of the owner is hardly possible - to provide a cat with such feed which will consider features of its physiology. To a connatural ration of animals biologically conforming forages are as much as possible approached: in them there are all nutrients, which are necessary for an animal always to be in the excellent form.
