Have you ever looked the ingredients of your cat's food...?

...and seen that cereal is included. Cats are pure carnivores though and their stomachs cannot even digest plant matter. Manufacturers probably save money that way but your cat cannot even digest that cereal.
So if your cat wants to hunt and eat rats, mice etc. then please don't get upset because it needs raw meat if possible.

I'm glad you've raised this issue of cereals. One of the prevalent allergic reactions in cats which may result in their 'over-grooming' is from the cereals added! A further aggravation - which often eludes the veterinarian's diagnosis - is the fibres from insulation (particularly glass-fibre) which many use. Anyone with a cat should always consider this as a probable cause forover-grooming; stress, too. And to some of you,for goodness sake, don't be so critical of feral cats, they keep the rats in order - so never put down rat-poison if ferals are about!

@EugenieLaBorgia And thank you very much Genie for adding all of that. Let all cat owners take note and think about it.
