I get this from a page I found on the differances between dogs and cats, even goes to say dogs doi have dual purpos teeth, although not as all purpose as ours, they are designed to cut grasses and other veggies, where the cats are designed for one purpose.. to hold and tear. also they do talk about the differances in digestive track, a dog while shorter than ours is much longer than a cats which means the cat is a true meatatarian, where the dog is almost there but can digest (although not completely) veggies and such. when they grind grains and throw them in food this makes them easily digestable which is why dogs can gain weight on foods with no meat. but there will be people that say dogs are total meatatarians like cats..

there was another interesting tidbit that re-enforces this is that cats are not thirst driven as in nature they get most of there water from fresh kills, dogs on the other hand are thirst driven which they beleive is a result of them eating more than just meat.
