Cats eating bacon?
Please tell me this is NOT good for a cat?
I keep looking to find something to print for my MIL (who has not owned a cat in like 55 years) that say sit is BAD!
If I catch her feeding this poor kitty bacon again I am gonna take the cat away

Re: Cats eating bacon?
Well the first thing I would think of is the carcinogens. That is a lot of danger for a small animal. The second is fatty liver disease. I would think that pork cannot help with that either.

OMG. Well I have caught my in-laws giving OREOS to their dog. People are just ignorant to their pets health sometimes

Here's what I found on the topic from a pet nutritionist:
Pork is not used in pet foods because in the list of meats that cats AND dogs can digest, pork is WAY down the list.
At the top is eggs, followed by chicken and other poultry. then you have lamb and fish. then you would have your beef and pork. Any company that nows about pet nutrition would realize that putting pork in the food means that it compromises the pets health because even though the package may as 32% protein, because they can't digest pork, they really only absorb 15% of the protein.
Low grade companies like Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Science Diet, etc would use pork but it would most likely be labelled as 'animal' or 'meat'....meaning the company got it from a rendering plant and has no idea what is actually in the food.
