Cat myth debunked: cats are solitary creatures. While cats can be independent, they are also capable of forming complex social bonds. Domestic cats have flexible and varied social systems.

HOWEVER this still doesn’t mean your resident cat wants a kitten in its life.

So many marketing terms and concepts play on your emotions and ingredient words.

Nutrients and their digestibility are far more important.
