Why do cats love to eat mice and fish? The reasons are as follows: Because cats are predators, they are born to love chasing and preying on small animals, and mice and fish are their favorite prey. In addition, mice and fish are also rich in protein and fat, which is of great help to cat nutrition.
Cats love to eat mice and fish because they have a lot of taurine in their bodies, which is an important nutrient that cats lack. Cats are nocturnal animals and can see things clearly in dark environments, but cats' night vision ability depends on taurine to maintain and improve, and the taurine in cats is insufficient, so they are supplemented by preying on mice and fish.
The eye structure of cats is different from that of humans. If they lack taurine for a long time, their vision will decline, so cats will obtain taurine by eating mice and fish. However, fish contain histamine. If the cat consumes too much, it will cause a series of problems such as inflammation and allergies. Therefore, it is not recommended to feed the cat too much fish.
