    Cats don't necessarily love fish, and cat nutrition experts point out that fish can provide cats with good protein and other nutrients, but excessive amounts of fish are harmful to cats' health. At the same time, cats eating raw fish will make cats deficient in vitamin B1, because raw fish will produce an enzyme to destroy vitamin B1, and cats lacking vitamin B1 may cause cramps, heart disease, and intermittent shock. Feeding raw fish to cats can also bring unnecessary parasite trouble, and cats eat raw fish and become infected with parasites, causing jaundice and hepatitis all over the body.

    Liver disease can also lead to hepatic ascites, and kidney disease, which are definitely terminal diseases of cats.

    Cats don't like fish, for cats, the fishy smell represents freshness, and cats like to eat fresh food. At the same time, cats' energy** is fat and protein, which means that cats are carnivores, because cats cannot get nutrients from carbohydrates, so cats are not interested in vegetarian foods and grains.

    Here to correct a wrong point of view, many people think that cats are "gluttonous", but in fact they are not, cats love meat because it can only get the nutrients it needs from meat, which means that it must eat meat to be strong (the main ingredients of cat food nowadays are fat and protein, so it can completely replace meat, and cat food is healthier than meat). And cats love to eat fresh things, because cats are extremely sensitive to the smell of chlorine, and rotten food will emit the smell of chlorine. Cats know it's not good for themselves, so they won't eat it.

    Therefore, the so-called cat "gluttony" is wrong, in fact, it is the reason for its instinct. Compared to dogs, dogs, like humans, obtain energy through carbohydrates, so they do not need a lot of meat like cats, so it is not correct for people to easily conclude that cats are "hungry".

    I'm sorry, I'm off topic for a while, who makes people have so many misunderstandings about cats.

    I've seen stray cats in our school catch goldfish in the lotus pond in the school, is it counted? It was fished with claws.

    Cats are nocturnal creatures, and in order to adapt to a pitch black environment, they must have excellent eyesight. Taurine is a substance that can improve night vision, this sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid accounts for 50% of the total free amino acids in the retina, and has a promoting effect on photoreceptor cells in the retina of cats.

    If a cat's food is deficient in taurine, it can lead to retinal degeneration, and long-term deficiency can lead to blindness. Studies have shown that taurine is contained in many animals, among which fish and shellfish are the most abundant, and mice such as the first to contain a large amount of taurine.
