FAQ of the Day: Cat Food By-Products?

Wednesday February 23, 2005
A reader asks: Most cat experts recommend premium brands that avoid things like by-products and chicken meal, etc. However, I was thinking about how feral cats eat a whole rodent, or whole bird. It seems like the cheaper brands would be closer to a natural diet than the premium brands in this case.

So what's really wrong with by-products in cat food? This question makes a lot of sense, and I hope my answer does it justice.
