Protein Sources: Animal-based VS Plant-based 

Many commercially prepared cat foods rely on plant-based sources, such as grains and vegetables, to provide protein in the diet. However, cats don't process protein derived from plants as effectively as they do animal proteins. It's becoming more common to refer to "high-quality" protein in cat foods. This doesn't mean that the food is organic or uses exotic meats, but instead means that it's an animal-based protein source.

Canned food, which tends to be meat-based, is considered high-quality protein. Many dry foods aren't because  they  often  rely  on plant-based sources to comprise much of the protein in the food. In foods that have primarily plant-based protein sources, a chemically derived taurine supplement is added to the food to ensure it meets cats' special dietary needs.
