Unlike people and dogs, cats are true carnivores.不同的人，狗，猫是真正的食肉动物。 They do not have a specific requirement for carbohydrates in their diets.他们没有具体的要求，在其碳水化合物的饮食。 They must, however, have large amounts of animal protein in the diet or they can suffer a number of fatal problems such as heart disease and liver failure.他们必须然而，有大量的动物性蛋白质的饮食，也可以受到一些致命的问题，如心脏病，肝功能衰竭。 Carbohydrates are included in pet foods as an inexpensive source of energy.碳水化合物中包括宠物食品作为一种廉价的能源来源。 Digested carbs are used to provide fuel (blood glucose) for people and pets; if the energy is not needed immediately, then the carbs are stored as glycogen in the muscle or liver to be used later.消化碳水化合物是用来提供燃料（血糖）为人民和宠物，如果能源不是立即需要，那么，碳水化合物储存的糖原在肌肉或肝脏被用来更新。 While dogs and people can use protein for energy, this is less efficient.虽然狗和人民可以使用蛋白的能源，这是效率较低。 Cats, however, have developed to be able to use protein as their main source of energy.猫科动物，然而，已经发展到可以使用蛋白，将其作为主要的能源来源。 Dry food must contain more carbohydrates than canned food in order to be formed into pellets.干食品必须含有更多的碳水化合物比罐头食品，以便形成颗粒。

Even though cats need a lot of meat in order to obtain the large amount of protein that they require, feeding only meat is a bad idea.即使猫需要大量的肉，以便获得大量的蛋白质，它们需要，喂养只有肉是一个坏主意。 Meat as the sole food is too low in calcium and other vitamins and minerals.肉类作为唯一的食物是过低的钙和其他维生素和矿物质。 However, the ideal food for cats is based upon animal protein as long as it contains adequate amounts of fats, vitamins, and minerals.但是，理想的食物，猫是基于对动物蛋白，只要它含有足够的脂肪，维生素和矿物质。 Even though cats don't really need carbohydrates in their diet, I don't think feeding dry food is harmful to most cats as long as it's a natural diet.即使猫不真正需要的碳水化合物在他们的饮食，我不认为喂食干粮是最有害的猫，只要它是一个很自然的饮食。 Some of my holistic colleagues might disagree, and some do in fact only recommend wet or canned food.我的一些同事可能整体分歧，一些做实际上只是建议湿或罐头食品。 In my practice, I'm not quite that stringent.我在实践中，我不十分严格。 However, there are some cats that I believe should probably not eat dry food as their sole diets.但是，有一些猫，我认为应该大概不会吃干粮作为其唯一的饮食。 Cats with kidney disease, chronic bladder disease, diabetes, cancer, and heart and liver disease do better in my opinion when eating a wet or can diet.猫的肾脏疾病，慢性膀胱疾病，糖尿病，癌症，心脏病和肝病做得更好在我看来，当时吃了潮湿或饮食。

While a few carbs in the diet won't hurt most cats, I think the best approach is to find out what is best for your cat.虽然有少数碳水化合物的饮食不会伤害大多数猫科动物，我想最好的办法是找出什么是最适合您的猫。 Every pet is different, and each has specific nutritional needs.每个宠物不同，各有具体的营养需要。 Work with your veterinarian to determine what food is best for your pet at this stage of his life.与您的兽医以确定哪些食物最适合你的宠物在这一阶段的生命。
