There is a reason cats prefer meaty wet food to dry kibble, and disdain sugar entirely

This person has never met a cat. One of ours is obsessed with sweet foods like yoghurt, honey, pastries. Which we don’t generally let her have because of her teeth.




You're discounting several possibilities.

Yogurt has protein, and many varieties have a lot of fat. Pastries tend to be fatty (butter/lard). Honey's less obvious, but my cat would lick clean wooden spoons just for the texture; perhaps yours likes something about the stickiness?


My cat loves sweet things, regardless of the presence of fat. I need to make videos of this to post.
