True or False?

All cats prefer fish-flavored food.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

You serve up what you think is a gourmet dinner, and your cat gives you a look — the one that says, “Nice try.” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But it turns out your cat isn’t being difficult. They’re relying on instincts honed over thousands of years.

Cats evolved as solitary hunters with highly specific prey preferences. In the wild, they tend to go for small mammals, birds, or insects. These choices are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, which explains why many domestic cats turn up their nose at fillers or overly fishy meals.

Texture, scent, and temperature matter too. Studies show cats prefer food close to body temperature, think “freshly caught”, and many develop strong preferences based on early food exposure.

Understanding your cat’s wild roots can make mealtime easier. It also explains why they might reject something expensive in favor of the same crunchy bits they’ve loved for years. To them, it's not just about taste. It’s about survival, comfort, and trust in their environment.

Cats don’t always tell us when something’s wrong, but you can usually spot the signs. Extra hairballs, surprise vomits, a skipped meal here and there? Digestive discomfort, like vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or appetite loss, is common in cats and often tied to missing nutrients in their daily diet.

That’s why we love Meow Greens, a vet-formulated, all-in-one supplement designed by Dr. Dennis Black to support your cat’s gut health. It’s packed with LIVE nutrients, enzymes, and prebiotics to help create a healthy microbiome. This promotes smoother digestion, fewer stomach issues, and a whole lot more energy for zoomies and naps alike.

Many cat parents notice a real difference: less vomiting, better stools, and a visibly happier, healthier cat.

Don’t wait for gut issues to disrupt your cat’s life. Click here to see the difference Meow Greens can make for your furry best friend.

Daily Purr reader Julie introduces Radley. About ten years ago, he wandered out of the forest on a cold winter night and spotted a house that looked warm enough to try his luck. It turned out to be Julie’s house. Radley scratched at the sliding glass door, yelled for attention, and walked right in.

Since then, Radley has fully embraced the good life with his two humans and a few fluffy siblings. He’s made himself right at home, and clearly has no plans to leave his favorite couch spot any time soon.

Thanks, Julie, for sharing Radley’s bold and cozy story! Want to see your cat featured as the Daily Purr Cat of the Day? Send in a photo and some fun facts about your kitty—they might be next!

You just fed your cat. Maybe twice. And yet—they’re back, meowing, pacing, and giving you that look. Some cats just seem to have an endless appetite, but it’s not always about food.

For many indoor cats, asking for snacks is more about routine or attention than actual hunger. If mealtimes are one of the day’s highlights, they might seek out food just to feel engaged. Enrichment toys, mealtime puzzles, and more playtime can help satisfy that need for stimulation.

Sometimes, the food itself doesn’t quite cut it. Lower-quality diets may lack the nutrients or satiety cats need. Switching to a more balanced formula or adjusting portion sizes (with a vet’s guidance) can make a big difference.

Of course, if your cat’s eating more than usual and showing signs like weight loss or unusual thirst, it’s smart to check with your vet. But in many cases, managing a snack-seeking cat just means giving them better food, more stimulation, and a little creative distraction.
