Ripe Papaya - Why Do I Find Not Even A Slight Mention Of It To Supplement Cat Food . . . ?

[kommunity kats]

I found info. about Mango & Pumpkin . . . but not a thing about Papaya. I find that odd, since Papayas are known to contain enzyme that help in the digestion o f meat, & cats LOVE meat!

Because cats don’t need any help digesting meat... they’re obligate carnivores.

A lot of enzyme supplements are made with papaya enzymes (it's called papain. And bromelain is from pineapples). But I don't think you could get a cat to eat fresh papaya!

And some cats do need help, if they have a digestive disorder. But normal cats shouldn't need digestive enzyme supplements.
