2. Carbohydrate content: Puffed cat food will inevitably add a certain amount of carbohydrates, such as wheat, beans, corn and potatoes. This may increase your cat's carb intake, and for some cats who need to strictly control their carb intake, care needs to be taken to choose a low - or no-carb cat food.
