Omnivores vs. Carnivores

I heard some interesting stuff at the vet today. He said that dogs are "omnivores", and can survive on a vegetarian diet. (wow...really?). Cats however are "carnivores", and need taurine, which is only present in meat, to survive. Interesting I think, don't you?
I also heard that my sweet beautiful nephew Nicolas wants to be a vetrenarian (not vegetarian) when he "grows up". Yay! Good for you Nickie! I know your'e gonna be GREAT!

Jag hörde intresanta saker idag hos vetrenären. Han sa att hundar kan överleva på endast vegetarisk mat. (nämen...är det sant?) Katter däremot måste ha kött för att överleva. Det finns faktiskt fakta på detta på nätet, jag har kollat.
Jag hörde dessutom idag att min fina brors-son Nicolas vill bli vetrenär när han "blir stor". Yippee! Du blir säkert jätte duktig!
