Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require animal-based protein to survive. This means they eat a variety of organs from their prey, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and intestines. However, cats generally avoid eating the brain of their prey.
While some cats may nibble on the brain occasionally, they typically find the texture and taste unappealing. Additionally, the brain contains a higher concentration of fat compared to other organs, which can be difficult for cats to digest.
This aversion to the brain is likely an evolutionary adaptation, as consuming the brain can expose cats to parasites and other pathogens that may be harmful.
