   I'd be very surprised if that cat doesn't someday develop a taurine deficiency. Cats are obligate carnivores. Taurine is absolutely necessary for them, albeit in small amounts; it is not found in any vegetable that I know of. Without taurine, cats go blind.

   (Unless this cat has some sort of weird abnormality in metabolism that renders taurine somehow unnecessary? Or receives some sort of general vitamin supplement for cats that contains taurine?)

   yes anna i thought taurine deficiency just as you did. i hope this kitty is being closely monitored by a vet. i just don't know how this kitty is digesting all this high fiber food? it just seems unatural for this kitty to eat that.
