As all parents who have raised cats know that cats have many natural instincts, such as climbing trees, covering up feces to cover up the smell after pulling the cake, like standing on high places, etc., in addition to these , there is also a skill that was praised by everyone in the past, that is, catching mice. Why does the cat have the instinct to catch mice? It turns out to be this reason!

       Cats are nocturnal, and in order to see clearly at night, they need a substance called taurine in their bodies. It happens that taurine is particularly abundant in mice. In fact, almost all animals contain taurine, but because the content of mice is relatively large and easy to catch, mice have become the favorite food of cats. If the cat does not eat mice for a long time, the night vision ability will decline, and even gradually lose the ability to move at night.

       Taurine is included in normal pregnancy, parturition and kitten survival in female cats. Essential nutrients for normal development. If taurine is deficient, symptoms such as low reproductive capacity, miscarriage, and stillbirth are manifested. Even if live calves are born, infants and kittens have low body weight, significantly reduced growth rate, and are prone to abnormal development. However, not only mice, but also many foods with the most taurine content, such as marine fish, shellfish, shellfish oysters, conch, clams, etc. Fish are rich in taurine such as mackerel, horse mackerel, and sardines. Therefore, more intake of such foods can get more taurine.

       If you don’t pay attention to the supplementation of taurine, cats lacking taurine will appear dull and easy to fall off, tooth decay, increased eye discharge, poor mental state, etc. question. It can be said that taurine is ubiquitous in cats, and the lack of any place will affect cats.
