ForestWind Siberian Cats

The feline body is specifically designed for a low carb diet. Indicators your Siberian isn’t equipped by nature to process a lot of carbohydrates include:

• No taste receptors for sweet flavors
• Low rates of glucose uptake in the intestine
• No salivary amylase to break down starches
• Reduced capacity of pancreatic amylase and intestinal disaccharidases

In other words, cats don’t produce the enzymes required to digest carbohydrates. The only carbs felines eat in the wild are the ones found pre-digested in the stomachs of the prey animals they eat.

Many of the illnesses we see in cats are attributable to low quality, biologically inappropriate, commercial pet food formulas.

If your Siberian's body is incapable of digesting a heavy carbohydrate load, yet she’s eating a cat food with high carb content, she’s on track to develop digestive disease and other serious conditions like diabetes and pancreatitis. This is all directly related to eating a diet unfit for her species.
