Cat food should be made with meat that cats naturally hunt, like mice and songbirds, instead of things like tuna, deer, and duck. Somehow I don’t think that would go over well with cat owners though.

Edit: weird typo

This is not allowed in many countries, like Germany for example.

    Does it become legal if the rats are euthanised before feeding them to the cat?

    I think that's how it works in the UK

    I am in no place or have the qualification to give a legal answer, so this is just as far as I know from talking with people who own reptiles which are fed mice.

    It is not allowed to use living animals as food, and the animals have to be put down in a humane and painless/stressless matter.

    So it sounds a lot like in the Uk, yes
