If cats are obligate carnivores, why do we feed them rice and peas(among other non-meat things)?
To my knowledge, while dogs can have some carbohydrates, a cats liver and pancreas will be overly stressed dealing with carbs. They need to eat meat and exclusively meat to survive and be healthy. So why do I find so many different cat foods with things *other* than meat or fish? Is it filler?

Obligate and exclusive are actually different words that mean different things. Just because you have to do something doesn’t mean it’s the only thing you can do.
Humans are obligated defecators, so why do humans still pee sometimes?
