      Mine eats any and all carbs. Rice, bread, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, triscuits…

      She turns her nose up at raw salmon though. Such a weirdo.

          I looked real quick and it seems they can?

          Maybe you’re thinking about the obligate carnivore bit with cats?

              I bet it’s the complex carbs. So potatoes, brown bread, and cereals won’t digest at all, while chips and white bread won’t be as bad.

              I don’t think all cats have the same digestion or gut flora either. Some cats have stinky farts for anything but wet food, while others eat anything without an odor at all.

      I had a cat that liked rice.

      He also like to eat corn, especially off the cob. He also liked frozen minted peas. Mother fucker thought was candy.
