Do cats get any nutritional benefit from rice? I thought they were obligate carnivores.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

No. You shouldn't really give them anything but animal products. Always check the kibbles and wet food ingredients as well, plenty of those contain all sorts of garbage they use as cheap fillers

Very little nutritional value it’s more for filler. They each got like a spoonful of rice because it was cooked in the chicken with the chicken was boiled so the rice at least taste a bit chicken 🤣

While they have evolved not to need it; Cats definitely can benefit from some carbohydrates.
