PURINA ONE Sterilised Cat

Apart from the fact that sugar isn't immediately harmful but is unhealthy in the long run—since it puts strain on the teeth, promotes obesity, and increases the risk of diabetes—it's a nutritionally unnecessary substance that's mostly used for appearance or to improve acceptance. When heated, it gives sauces and pieces of meat a more appealing brown colour and enhances the smell and taste of the food, especially when lower-quality ingredients are used.

The cats like to eat it, no doubt about that. But why on earth is there sugar in it? That sort of thing simply doesn’t belong in cat food, especially not if it’s meant for sterilised cats. Absolutely outrageous!
