Why this diet?
Why?Siberian Cat depends mostly on animal protein. Cats are meat-focused hunters, even when they live in domestic settings rather than wild ones.

- Small mammals and birds when hunting is possible
- Animal tissue rather than plant-heavy food sources
Wild context, owner care, and access to outdoor prey all affect exactly what an individual cat eats.
