Cat food is supplemented with synthetic taurine, an amino acid essential for cats, which is why other pet foods are not recommended for cats.

Cat food is commonly made from what would otherwise be waste products of the meat industry. Some cat experts claim that this practice, as well as the overly processed nature of dry cat food, is responsible for many of the age-related ailments of cats. Additionally, many major brand-name cat foods are primarily grain-based, often containing large amounts of corn or rice supplemented with meats and essential vitamins, and usually saturated with 'digest,' a euphemistic term for real or synthetic cat vomit, to attract the cat as cats are prone to re-eating previously swallowed and vomited foods.

Many cat enthusiasts make a higher-quality food from raw ingredients intended to provide nutrition as close as possible to the cat's natural diet. These diets generally include raw meat with organs, ground bone, some raw vegetables, and some dietary supplements.

Vegetarian cat food, made with no animal products, has been available for many years, and is claimed to be nutritionally sound by the vendors. It remains a niche product aimed primarily at *Animal rights activists.
