Lol, my cat eats a diet of chicken, prawns, some beef, and organs like liver, heart, kidney, and brain. He is extremely healthy and does not look his age (13). He started on kibble but we transitioned him to meat because of hairball and general health issues. His teeth are clean and strong, his coat is shiny, and his eyes are clear.
Honestly, cats are predators. They eat meat. Feed a cat mice and you are close to what mine eats. It would be really strange if they were ok eating rice, corn, and brocoli.
My cat never liked meat, fish or chicken. she would eat vegetables and kibble.. sometimes watermelon or another juicy fruit.
I really dont know if this was a sign or not, but eventually we discovered she had a renal condition.
My cat is unable to tell the difference between a sparrow and a sparrow hawk and as such as being attacked by at least one sparrow hawk, and is now afraid of all birds.
What she really likes is frogs, although also they can be scary if they move unexpectedly.
