Report: Cats' food tastes can change over time

The safest food for a cat, she said, continues to be the kind made specifically for felines, as human food can present any number of problems, including bones that become choke hazards and high fat content that can cause intestinal problems.

Human food, provided you are talking about raw meat, bones and organs, is nutritionally far superior for cats than any commercial cat food on the market. Felines require significantly more fat in their diets than humans. The "expert" who wrote this is clearly NOT and expert on feline NUTRITION. Unfortunately, most veterinarians are not, because their education comes from a text book written by the makers of Hill's pet foods, one of the poorest pet foods on the market.
