Feeding cats diets high in plant matter can lead to indigestion. The cat's digestive system is only designed to process meats because cats are carnivorous by nature. Cats do benefit from eating plant matter, however they do not digest vegetation as they do meats. Adjusting the cat's diet to be more carnivorous may prevent future bouts of indigestion.
