KATEVOLUTIE
Hoe zijn moderne katten geëvolueerd van wilde katten?
VOOROUDERS VAN DE KAT
11 miljoen jaar geleden evolueerden de eerste wilde katten in 2 categorieën:
- Pantherinae (grote katachtigen zoals tijgers en leeuwen)
- Felinae (voornamelijk kleinere katten die de voorouders werden van moderne katten)
DE EERSTE WILDE KATTEN
- 6,2 miljoen jaar geleden stamde de soort Felis wilde kat af van het geslacht Felinae.
- Felis wilde katten waren de volgende evolutionaire stap naar gedomesticeerde katten zoals we die nu kennen.
DE EERSTE GEDOMESTICEERDE WILDE KAT
- 130.000 jaar geleden splitsten de Midden-Oosterse wilde katten (Felis silvestris lybica) zich af van het geslacht Felis.
- Midden-Oosterse wilde katten zijn de nauwste verwanten van moderne katten en waren de eerste gedomesticeerde katten. Alle moderne huiskatten zijn hun nakomelingen.
MODERNE KATTEN
- De meeste katten zijn nu huisdieren, maar hun biologie is niet veel veranderd ten opzichte van die van hun voorouders.
- In feite onderscheiden slechts 15-20 genen uw kat van hun wilde voorouders!
- Daarom gedijen katten nog steeds het beste op een dieet dat rijk is aan WholePrey dierlijke ingrediënten zoals ORIJEN™ kattenvoer.

Cats have their own tastes and preferences, just like us, so what works best will be unique for every cat. If you have a kitten, we recommend starting with the ORIJEN™ Kitten diet. If your cat has reached maturity, the main thing to consider is finding a flavor they love. Any of our All-Life Stages diets will provide your cat with all the nutrients they need.
There are no grain ingredients added in our kitchens in our ORIJEN™ cat diets. They are packed with WholePrey animal ingredients, including organs and bone. They also feature fruit, vegetables, and botanicals to deliver on your cat’s nutritional needs.
Our ORIJEN™ diets are formulated to support a cat’s unique health requirements. As obligate carnivores, cats thrive on a variety of different prey animals, and each ORIJEN™ diet acknowledges this in the diversity of included animal ingredients. We have diet options that give Pet Lovers variety while still providing their cats with all the nutrients they require at All Life Stages.
