In order for the cat to be healthy and active, it is necessary to give it exclusively food containing sufficient proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Also, these animals need fiber.

It is this protein that is well absorbed in the cat's body and is very useful for it. Vegetable proteins in the feed are found mainly in corn. They are absorbed by the body of predators, which include cats, they are not too good. But in small amounts for animals, such proteins can also be very useful.
