“…Some researchers believe that the presence of plant content is caused by unintentional intake (Avenant & Nel, 2002 ; De Villa Meza et al., 2002 ; Krofel et al., 2011 ), while others argue that there might be some advantages of plant eating (Hoppe‐Dominik, 1988 ; Sueda et al., 2008 ; Tatara & Doi, 1994 ; Xiong et al., 2016 ). Indeed, observational studies indicate that felids eat plants voluntarily (Montalvo et al., 2020 ; Yoshimura et al., 2020 ) both in the captivity and in the wild, which indicates that this behavior is relatively common and natural among felids. However, experimental studies suggest that cellulose intake can be disadvantageous, since it decreases dry matter and energy digestibility (Edwards et al., 2001 ; Prola et al., 2010 ).…”
