Cat food should be made with meat that cats naturally hunt, like mice and songbirds, instead of things like tuna, deer, and duck. Somehow I don’t think that would go over well with cat owners though.

Edit: weird typo

    I assume the issue here is how much bone and fur/feathers you want in your cat food. Butchering mice like cattle would be very labor-intensive, but I’m not sure whether that’s actually an issue considering that cats already eat mice. Mouse bone and fur probably isn’t very nutritious for cats though, so that would inflate the weight of cat food.

      I think you’d just pour a bucket of them into an industrial blender along with some catnip and wait til it’s paste …
