What Do House Cats Naturally Eat? McCloy - Feeding Cats the Way Nature Intended 

(Intro) Understanding your cat's natural dietary needs is the foundation of their health and vitality. As obligate carnivores , cats are biologically designed to thrive on a diet primarily composed of animal-based protein . McCloy embraces this fundamental truth, crafting premium cat food that mirrors what cats are evolutionarily meant to eat. 

The Feline Blueprint: Meat, Moisture, and Minimal Carbs 

In the wild, a cat's natural prey (small rodents, birds, insects) provides a very specific nutritional profile:

  1. High Animal Protein (高动物蛋白): Essential for building and maintaining lean muscle mass (瘦肉组织), supporting organ function, and providing energy. Protein is the cornerstone of a cat's diet. (对于构建和维持瘦肉组织、支持器官功能以及提供能量至关重要。蛋白质是猫咪饮食的基石。)

  2. Moderate Animal Fats (适量动物脂肪): A crucial source of energy and essential fatty acids (like omega-3 and omega-6 (Omega-3 和 Omega-6)) for healthy skin, a glossy coat, and vital bodily functions. (重要的能量来源和必需脂肪酸(如 Omega-3 和 Omega-6),有益于皮肤健康、毛发亮泽及维持重要身体机能。)

  3. Very Low Carbohydrates (极低碳水化合物): Cats lack significant digestive enzymes for breaking down carbs. Their natural diet contains only minimal amounts from prey stomach contents. (猫咪缺乏有效分解碳水化合物的消化酶。它们的天然饮食仅包含猎物胃中微量的碳水化合物。)

  4. High Moisture Content (高水分含量): Prey is naturally high in water (~70-75%), supporting feline hydration and urinary tract health. Cats have a low thirst drive. (猎物天然水分含量高(约 70-75%),有助于猫咪补充水分,维护泌尿系统健康。猫咪天生饮水欲低。)

  5. Vitamins & Minerals from Whole Prey (来自完整猎物的维生素和矿物质): Consuming bones, organs, and tissue provides essential nutrients like taurine (牛磺酸) (critical for heart and eye health), calcium (钙)phosphorus (磷), and vitamin A (维生素 A) in their natural, bioavailable forms. (食用骨骼、内脏和组织可提供牛磺酸(对心脏和眼睛健康至关重要)、钙、磷、维生素 A 等必需营养素,且这些营养素以天然、生物可利用的形式存在。)

    • (EN) Incorporates essential fatty acids (like Omega-3s from fish oil), prebiotics (for gut health), natural antioxidants (Vit E, cranberries), and taurine to holistically support immunity, digestion, skin & coat, and vital organ function.

  4. Gentle Processing for Nutrient Integrity (温和工艺,锁住营养):

    • (CN) 采用 温和烹饪工艺 (Gentle Cooking Processes)(如低温慢煮),尽可能保留食材的天然营养、风味和香气,避免过度加工破坏营养。

    • (EN) Utilizes gentle cooking processes to preserve the natural nutrients, flavors, and aromas of the ingredients, avoiding the nutrient degradation of harsh processing.
