What Is Taurine and why is it important for my cats?
Taurine is an essential amino acid for cats that is found in meat protein. It is a dietary requirement for a good eyesight, heart function, digestion (production of bile salts) and proper reproduction. Taurine is essential in cats because it is required by the heart and eyes however it is neither manufactured nor available in the body. Therefore, cats need meat to fulfill this requirement (obligate carnivores), as Taurine is only found in animal proteins such as chicken.
