Pretty interesting stuff. They found a defective gene that causes cats to not have sweet receptors on their tongues and may explain why cats became obligate carnivores.

Now here's proof we can't blame our cats when they hate every type of food we try for them!!

I saw a story about this on CNN a little while ago.
You wouldn't know that cats lack a sweet tooth by observing my girls. They would do ANYTHING to get their hands on ice cream, icing, muffins, etc.
