⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do NOT substitute plant-based proteins for animal proteins—cats require preformed vitamin A, arachidonic acid, and taurine from meat sources. Avoid onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, xylitol, and excessive carbohydrates. Do not omit taurine—deficiency causes blindness and heart failure in cats. Consult your veterinarian before making any ingredient changes.
