Why does cat food have veg in it????

I can see why they put meat and fish in it, but veg?

When is a cat ever going to eat carrots in the wild? or peas? or green beans?

And don't even get me started on the gravy!

afaik, cats in the wild eat greens to clear their stomach from hairballs and stuff,
could even be that through the processing of meats, the meat might lose out on voitamins the animals need, hence they ad weg for the extra vits,
don't really know but it sounded quite good

Our two will either not eat that stuff at all, or they'll eat all the meat and carefully leave all the peas and tiny pieces of carrot in the bottom of their bowls. I mean, some of this Whiskas stuff now even has herbs in it for christs sake!!

As for the gravy, they love it! In fact, if they ever have any food that they don't like, usually turkey for some reason, they'll lick all the gravy off it and leave the meat.

haha,

yeah I know my cat eats grass, and it's normal for them to do that for haiballs, but the cat eats posher sounding meals than I do FFS!!

You have to wonder what they make of the veg!
