Question – I am feeding my cat raw composed of whole chicken (including bones and organs but without skin) and some olive oil added. If taurine comes from muscle meat, why would you need to add taurine to it?

Is there a over the counter capsule of taurine that can sprinkled on a cat’s food and where could I purchase it? This info on Taurine has been quite helpful.
Thank you, Melissa

Thank you, thank you! Just the information I was looking for. Now that I know what to feed, my beloved Sphynx cat and his heart will get their essential Taurine.

My kitty has renal issues does giving him 500mg of taurine put stess on his kidneys. My vet seems to think so, I read where giving a kitty with raised values of BUN & Creatinine acutally lowered it. I would value your opinion.

Great article!

We have a cat with kidney disease. I found that Feline Outreach has great education info and links about feline nutrition, kidney disease / CKD / CRF, and more. Links include discussion groups, articles and research, as well as to sites that sell low-cost supplies. Their Nutrition information should be required reading for all cat owners and vets. I think it’s shocking that many people don’t realize how important it is.

Feline Outreach is a charitable organization formed to promote the routine and medical care of companion animals, particularly cats. http://www.felineoutreach.org/Education.html
