Why is corn important to a cat?

Corn is not an essential nutrient for cats and, in fact, can be harmful to cats. Cats are obligate carnivores and naturally cannot digest grains like corn.

Some commercial cat foods use corn and its byproducts as a filler ingredient. This can lead to a number of problems, including diarrhea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal upset. Corn can contribute to obesity and other health issues.

If you're looking for a healthy cat food, look for one made with high-quality, easily digestible ingredients. Corn and its byproducts should be avoided.
