Researchers Have found unlike humans, cats are able to consume a diet relatively high in fat without raising cholesterol levels.  The research also showed that, as long as cats' daily calorie intake remains constant, increasing the proportion of fat in the diet will not affect the likelihood of weight gain.

The findings advance understanding of how cats handle dietary fat and reinforce the differences between the nutritional needs of cats and humans.  This research was conducted by scientists from the University of Glasgow and the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition-the science centre supporting Mars Petcare brands such as Whiskas,Royal Canin and Nutro.
