Cats Need Bull

Don't forget when you're happily stuffing raw turkey (or cooked turkey for that matter) in your cat's bowl that all kitties need taurine, the amino acid obviously named after Taurus (bull), in order to survive because they do not manufacture taurine in their bodies. In fact, processed pet food makers add copious amounts of it to their recipes because some original catastrophes with original taurine-less foods caused heart failure in cats.

Buy a bottle of taurine in capsules (about $6) and open the capsule to sprinkle on the food. Add about 100mg everyday.
