In this episode, I'm discussing why protein is important for cats, how cats use protein, and the major sources of protein that your cat needs.

I'm answering the following questions every cat parent has:

• How much protein does my cat need?


• What are the best sources of protein for my cat?


• Can cats be vegan?

This is lesson 4 in my cat nutrition: transform your cat with a fresh food diet course.
