It's probably just a treat. My dog LOVES carrots as snacks.

I'm sorry, Mancakes, but cats need grass. Carrots will suffice, but the tops would be more welcome than the root. This from direct observation.

You're better off giving a cat some type of vegetable as a snack than a processed kitty treat. Those things are the cat equivalent of Doritos.

In the wild, even obligate carnivores like cats would be meeting most of their plants requirements from the stomach contents of their prey, and would supplement further if needed by nibbling on grass or other suitable vegetable matter. Kibble doesn't really approximate that experience very well.

My girlfriend's cat absolutely loves avocado, cassava and carrots.

It was a joke about the video title, calm down people.

The life expectancy of a feral cat is, like, 5 years.

But yeah, lets all just pretend like we can figure out the best diet for a domestic, sedentary, neutered cat by thinking real hard about what their ancestors ate.

No you fucking didn't because that is too weird for my brain.

Rabbits are far closer to the bunnies in Watership Down then most people would ever like to admit. I used to have a dwarf rabbit that controlled the largest room in the house with an iron paw. The four cats were allowed to run along the baseboard heater, if they stepped on the carpet they WOULD get bit. She'd jump up on chairs to attack a sleeping cat, rabbits are supposed to go down, not up, burrow, not climb things to attack carnivores. She would regulalry draw blood from guests. She was the coolest bunny ever.

My kitty loves the hell out of Brussels sprout flowers and will attack anyone who tries to take them from him. 5 stars.
