TÔM THE EXPERT with Host Dr. Ngo Hong Phuong (Phượng Hồng Ngô) – 0️⃣0️⃣4️⃣:

🐾 Cats are obligate carnivores! 🐾
🩺 “I eat rice with veggies and meat — so my cat should be fine with that too, right?”
❌ Absolutely not!
Cats are obligate carnivores — biologically designed to depend on animal-based protein.
It’s not a preference — it’s a vital, non-negotiable need.
📌 Cats can’t produce taurine on their own — an essential amino acid found only in meat and fish.
📌 They need significantly more protein and fat than dogs.
📌 Diets lacking animal protein can lead to heart failure, nerve damage, or irreversible vision loss.
👉 Don’t let love without knowledge harm your cat.
Remember: Cats must get enough Taurine!
