Cats Lack the Ability to Taste Sweetness
I just discovered this fact. No wonder they're so grouchy.
According to Dr. Jennifer Larsen, DVM, PhD, DACVN, cats prefer the protein and fatty taste of meat.
They also lack the receptors to taste sweet which means they're indifferent to sugars.Lastly, their preferences depend on how the food feels in their mouth.
