Cats and Evolution, part 2
In reference to my question on cats and fish, I have always wondered why cats enjoy seafood so much. How, pray tell, did they develop this taste?
In the 365 cats calendar, there is the following blurb on 3/9/2006.
Something's Fishy
Since fish is rarely part of a cat's diet in the wild, how did it become such a common ingredient in today's cat food? A possible reason is that during World War II meat was rationed, so manufacturers looked for a substitutde protein -- and the rest is history.
This is total and complete bullshit.
First, "a possible reason" is not a valid scientific point. I need facts, evidence, and proof. Do not supply possible reasons.
Second, how does the cat actually enjoy the taste of fish and crave it at all? That is the more pressing issue.
Third, this argument might, might, explain why cats in the US and its allies have fish and seafood elements in cat food. But how do you explain cats in other countries, like the japs and nazis, who have the same ingredients in cat food?
This question needs solving.
