Why isnt there mouse flavoured cat food2007-11-25 12:33:07

I think it is because the 'flavour' wouln't be very appealing to us cat owners!

I hope that helps:>)

well if there was cats would,nt eat it. they normally just play with mice. once thier dead they lose interest.

---

.Not exactly PC is it. Anyway cats don't eat mice, they just chase them and kill them as a game.

---

How do you know there isn't? The cat food makers probably put it under another name like Super Super or Special Dinner.

---

Actually I think it's cause 1) no one wants to find out what a mouse tastes like

and

2) no one wants to taste the cat food to know if it tastes like a mouse.

Volenteer for these jobs and a mouse flavored cat food could become reality!

First of all, cat food is not exactly "flavored".at least not the quality cat foods. The food actually contains the meat and byproducts of human grade chicken, beef, lamb or fish. These are all animals that humans eat. As a result, there are food industries that raise and sell these animals as a business. And the government regulates these industries to ensure that the public is protected from parasites, toxins, disease and other such problems. There is no such industry that raises mice for the purposes of selling them as a mass food source. The only people raising mice for sale are research laboratories (who often raise their own genetically altered mice) and the pet stores (who do it to sell mice as pets or as snake food!) So I suppose, you could walk into any pet store and buy a live mouse to feed to your cat.but it's highly unlikely that a pet food company will purchase mice meat in mass quantities for the purposes of manufacturing cat food. There's just too many other readily available, FDA regulated meats on the market.

how would they get the flavor of a mouse into food?

---

who tastes the pet food when it says improved flavour? how do they know?

---

cuz they dont eat mice just play wif em

I asked Pedigree Petfoods this question in 1975; they never replied.

---

Cats only like to kill and play mice not eat them

---

Why should there be.. my cat likes cheese but i don't expext to find cheese flavoured cat food

Good question! The pet food companies should take it into consideration, but my guess is that most owners/food buyers would be too squimish to buy it.

Someone above suggested that we don't know what the catfood tastes like.That's not true for all of us. I taste/try whatever I put out for the kitties. Most of it is really bland, but everynow and then some of it is quite tasty.
