Human panel judges cat food

In today's cat and dog news, I found this interesting article about the value of human cat food samplers. It says:

"In a new Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition paper, Dr. Pickering explains the potential value of having people rate cat foods. For example, he believes it might enable manufacturers to understand why your cat favors certain foods. While manufacturers conduct trials to see what felines prefer, it's difficult to know exactly which flavors or textures the kitties are responding to, he explains."
14 WFIE, The Tri-State's News Leader: Human panel judges cat food

It is simply because cats can't verbalize what they like or dislike and humans do seem to rate cat food successfully..

Stay tuned for more dog and cat news soon.
